[See bug report at end of this file.]
This "ARC" file contains the Microsoft BASIC (tm) source code for
the Duper log editing program listed in the "Contests" chapter of
The ARRL Operating Manual, Third Edition. The program takes
keyboard input, reports whether the callsign entered was worked
before, and counts valid and duplicate contacts. The number of
valid contacts and duplicates are reported and a duplicate sheet
is built. An output file holding a complete listing of all the
contacts made on a particular band, in alphabetical order is
produced.
In addition to the program listing, I've also included a compiled
executable version of the program. The executable version (same
program name but with the suffix '.EXE') runs 10 to 20 times
faster than the usual interpreted version, so you'll probably
prefer to use it rather the .BAS version. The executable program
is set up to run on any computer even vaguely compatible with the
IBM-PC. If you are able to read this message, your computer is
probably up to the task.
To run the compiled program, simply type the program name at the
screen prompt. For example, type DUPER at the A> prompt.
Some reminders:
1. If you want the callsigns in your dupe sheet to appear in
capital letters, be sure to type them in with caps on.
Although this program was tested on a variety of computers and
peripheral combinations, there are undoubtedly systems that may
balk at something in this program. If you do encounter problems
with your system, please let me know; I may not be able to help,
but perhaps I can ask someone who can give assistance. Of
course, if you find any bugs or have any suggestions for
improvements to this program, please let me hear about these,
too.
