====== Band Plan for DOS Version 1.X Instructions ======
Band Plan is a graphical representation of U.S. amateur privileges
from 160 meters to 23 centimeters. It contains mode and frequency
information for Novice, Technician, Technician +, General, Advanced,
and Extra licensees. It is designed as a quick reference guide.
I also have a Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) version available for $20.00.
Band Plan Version 1.X requires:
1)MS-DOS version 3.0 or greater.
2)CGA, EGA, OR VGA monitor.
3)A printer capable of IBM graphics characters is desirable but NOT
required.
The distribution disk contains the following files:
BPDOS.EXE The actual program
BPWIN.TXT This file
ORDER.FRM Order form
Band Plan can be run from a floppy or a hard disk. For the GMT time
display to be correct you will need to do two things:
1) Make sure your PC is set to the correct time and date.
2) Set the TZ (Time Zone) Environment Variable as follows:
For Eastern Daylight savings time type the following at the DOS prompt:
SET TZ=EST5EDT(ENTER)
For Eastern Standard Time:
SET TZ=EST5(ENTER)
* (ENTER) means the ENTER or RETURN key on your keyboard.
** This command could be added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
This is the format of the TZ environment string:
TZ = zzz[+/-]d[d][lll]
Component What It Represents
zzz Three-character string representing the name of the current
time zone. All three characters are required. (EST=Eastern
Standard Time, CST=Central Standard Time, etc.)
[+/-]d[d] Required field containing an optionally signed number with
1 or more digits. This number is the local time zone's
difference from GMT in hours.
- Positive numbers adjust westward from GMT.
- Negative numbers adjust eastward from GMT.
This number is used in the calculation of timezone.
lll Optional three-character field that represents the local
time zone's daylight saving time.
- If this field is present, daylight savings is in effect.
- If this field is absent, daylight savings is NOT in effect.
If the TZ environment string isn't present or isn't in the specified form,
it presumes a default TZ = "PST8PDT" for the purpose of caculating GMT
time.
