- LogBook 0.30beta
- by Grzegorz Fitrzyk SP9WUN
-
- 1. Introduction:
-
- MLogBook is HAM Radio logging program which is in early beta version now.
- With this program you can save all your QSO's. MLogBook has many features
- (see MLogBook.features file) but most of it is not available yet. In this
- moment only normal QSO mode is available.
- This MLogBook allow to log only 1000 QSO (internal limitation made by me :)
- I'd like to ask every user of this program for any comments, bug reports
- or good words.
-
- 2. Requirements:
-
- Hardware:
- Amiga with KS 2.1+ and Hard Disk
-
- Software:
- MUI 3.8
- BetterString.mcc (included)
- NList.mcc (included)
- SpeedBar.mcc (included)
-
- Stack >=20kB
-
- 3. Usage:
-
- First start.
-
- If you put any CallBook data file (CSV format) in CallBook dir and start,
- MLogBook will scan this file and make index for it (for fast access to datas).
- You should be patience because this operation is very slow.
- MLogBook will paste data to "Comments" field from CallBook, only from
- columns: 1, 2 and 5 (and from 6 to "Locator").
- If you don't want to use CallBook then remove SP.CSV file from CallBook dir.
- I added SP.CSV file which is a part of SP9TNM's Polish CallBook but the one
- have'nt address, zip and phone fields (in original one these fields exists)
- for privacy protection. The original file you can find in Internet and it's
- in DBF file format so after downloading it you should convert it to ASCII.
- I used for it DBF2ASC program which you can find in Aminet.
-
- Normal logging:
-
- After start you can type any callsign (e.g. SP9WUN) in "3:Callsign" field.
- "3" means that when you press Right Amiga and 3 - you'll activate this field.
- This is usefull when you dislike to using TAB key. Also you should know that
- TAB key don't enter data. It mean that when you type SP9WUN in Callsign field
- and press TAB you'll only change active field. If you want to enter SP9WUN
- you shoult press Enter key (on keyboard ;). If you'll fill a fields you should
- press "Enter" button or press RightAmiga-E. I hope it's clear.
- Data and Time fields will be set to current when you press Enter key.
-
-
- Contest logging
-
- If you want to work in contest you should create new preference file. So open
- Preference window and type in Preference Filename field new name of your settings.
- You can type contest name e.g. MLogBook.cqww
- Now you change LogBook Filename Field, e.g. cqww_2000.log
- Now click "GUI" field on the top of window and click on Rem-s gadget and set Const
- value. Now set (with lupe) Const field with %w value (for cqww contest).
- Do the same with Rem-r field. Other fields you can set as you want.
- Now you can save setting and begin work in contest.
- In this moment MLogBook don't: check duplicate, count multiplers and scores.
-
-
- Editing entry:
-
- When you doubleclick on any entry you will see it on down part of window.
- You can change what you want and press "Enter" button like in normal logging
- mode.
- If you can change date or time in entry you should open Settings Window
- and enable displaying Date and Time field.
-
- You can also enable Settings/Lock DateTime from menu to disable time and date
- updating after pressing Enter.
-
-
- Undo:
-
- Only 1 level available.
-
-
- Find:
-
- I hope it works.
-
-
- Delete:
-
- I'm quite sure it works.
-
- Tools/Rescan Prefixes
-
- This feature is usefull for creating statistics of logbook and for contest
- working. If you use this tool MLogBook will rescan all callsigns saved in log
- and fill PFX field in Log Table. Only first QSO with any country on single
- band and single mode will be updated. If you, for example, made QSO with SP
- on 2m band and with FM mode then there will be SP sign in PFX column. If you'll
- do it again with the same conditions there PFX field will be empty. But if
- you'll do SP with, for example, SSB mode, then MLogBook will update PFX column
- for this QSO with SP sign. It's needed for contest logging because most rules
- of contests will give points for only first QSO with any country on the same
- band.
