BBS COPY OF ARS LOGBOOK v5.2
Welcome to Amateur Radio Station LOGBOOK software. I hope you find
this BBS copy interesting enough to want a REGISTERED copy. All the
functions for logging are included in the BBS copy. The only sections
that are limited are as follows:
1) The logs are limited to 100 entries maximum. You may make
several logs but each is limited to 100 QSO's per log file.
2) You cannot update the DXINFO database from the program. In a
REGISTERED copy, you could ADD a NEW prefix to or EDIT any
errors the current data. The database file can be updated using
dBASE III Plus if you have the inclination to do so.
3) You cannot perform an automatic BACKUP or RESTORE of the log
files as you could in a REGISTERED copy. This feature is fully
automatic once the user selects what and where to backup or
restore. As with any software program that generates data
files, backups are the most important item behind the program
itself.
4) You cannot branch to DOS as in a REGISTERED copy. This is a
nice feature to have if you need to setup a printer external
to the program or need to format a backup disk.
Also, with this BBS copy the USER manual is not the complete manual set.
In order to limit the size required for downloading a simple startup
manual was extracted from the FULL manual set. Where the full manual
set is appx. 90 pages with a table of contents and comes preformatted,
ready to print, the BBS manual only covers the basics of the program such
as start up and command overview. On-line help is available on the BBS
version if needed.
So as you can see, you can get a good feel as to how ARS LOGBOOK works
using the BBS copy and then if you decide to register for $24.95, you
will receive a full function copy with a complete manual set, FREE
technical support, upgrades and be eligible for rebates.
BBS Version Distribution Files
The following files are included in the BBS version set. Due to the
eed to limit the size of the download set for a BBS version, several
support files not required for the BBS version were not included which
will be included in a REGISTERED version. These include a Report Gene-
ration Utility for creating custom report forms, a FULL manual set and
others. The following is a list of the contents of the ZIPPED
files:
REGFORM.TXT
README.1ST
LOG521.EXE
LOG521.OVL
HELP.DBF (DO NOT INSTALL ON FLOPPY SYSTEM ALONG WITH DXINFO.DBF)
HELP.NTX (SAME AS ABOVE - NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO DO BOTH OPTIONS)
DXINFO.DBF
MANUAL.TXT
*********************************
** Installing the BBS copy **
*********************************
NOTE: Only the hard disk system will be discussed here. If you need
to install ARS LOGBOOK on a floppy only system, contact the author.
Instrcution on installation for floppy only and special system require-
ments are discussed in detail in the full manual set.
1) I would recommend creating a specific subdirectory for all the files
to reside.
2) Once extracted and/or copied, select the subdirectory where the files
reside, if not already there.
3) Enter the command to start the program as follows:
LOG521 followed by RETURN
4) Follow the prompts to initialize the program and create the default
log file set, 'LOGBOOK'.
