*** Manual of program RUFZ *** @DL4MM (ex DL3DZZ,Y33UL)
Version: 2.12e 30.06.95
The program RUFZ is simple OFF-line-Contestsimulation. The name RUFZ
is a abbreviation for the german word "Rufzeichen" = call.
After start of the program you∩ll get some instructions how to use
the program.
followings files on disk:
RUFZ.EXE - executable file
RUFZ.CFG - configuration file
(can be modified if you type <CONFIG> instead of your own call )
changeable:
- password
- Initial speed
- number of call per attempt
- max. number of attempts for each participant
remarks for password:
- the installed password-software is only a simple protection against
manipulation of HiScore-list in case of using in a smaller contest.
More now is not wanted.
In case you have forgotten your password,
write blanks in the first line ( Do not delete first line !!)
RFZFILE.DTA - callsign file
contains calls for random generator
own calls may be appended, or old calls may be changed
( max. apr. 14.000 Stk.)
If you hand over the program RFZFILE.DTA must be
the ORGINAL-file. But of course for your own use you may
rename another file into this name.
RFZHSCR.DTA - Hi-Score-Liste
Result-list contains of
- Nr. of place
- total points
- call of participant
- number of attempts
- max. heard PARIS-speed
and a checksum against manipulation
In case of a manipulation you can continue after
type in of password (if active)
RUFZREAD.ME - this file
Installation:
Please copy files on disk into any directory on harddisc
like for example C:\AR\SIMUL\RUFZ
Please make a safety-copy of program-disc.
Start of program:
Type RUFZ at DOS-prompt in the directory RUFZ installed
(not under Windows!)
ATTENTION: Before running of program please remove harddisc-caches
(like SMARTDRV or PC-CACHE) else some problems may occur
at CW-Output !
Function:
At the begin of program you have to type in your own call. At this time
you have the possibility to listen in short if you type <TEST>. You may
change loudness and adjustment of your headphone. Of course you can do
this as often you like.
After typing in your own call the contest runs. The computer will transmit a
random-generated call. You type the call you∩ve heard into the keyboard.
The program continue only AFTER <ENT>. In before you may change the
call in the editor line.
if the call was right the CW-speed will increase else decrease. The computer
will follow your actual personal performance.
The computer will compute a point-valuation for each call. Depending of
difficulty a different number of points are the maximum of 100%.
Therefore the speed has a quadratic and the length of the call a linear
influence. For each error in the call the number of points will be the half.
Additional you∩ll loose a few points (only logarithmic influence)
depending of time needed to type in call. So please, don't be hectic.
After 50 (Default) heard calls the attempt is over, the total score is
displayed in red colour in the right window.
(call, points, max. heard PARIS-speed, nr. of attempts)
Same time you see the total points and max. speed in the upper status line.
After <ENT> you can start a new attempt.
End or program :
Enter instead of your own call <QUIT>, but after begin you have to make a
complete attempt.
In a "emergency-case" you may do a "hard" program-abort by
<CTRL> <BREAK>
But in this case the score will be not saved.
Results:
View HiScore-list in program or type <SCORE> instead of own call.
In the menue complete results can be viewed or printed or deleted.
Results are also in file RFZHSCR.DTA (and a checksum).
CW-Output:
via build in PC-speaker or better switch a headphone parallel to or instead of
the speaker.
Seriell or parallel ports or soundcards are not supported not yet.
.
Display:
