- The DB0SDX qsl + address database (C) by PacketCluster node DB0SDX
- ==========(information file readme.upd, last updated 94/05/23)================
-
- You can freely distribute the database, however - this is
- as of today a non commercial project.
- Please don't charge any money for the distribution!
- Please distribute the complete version, including this file README.UPD.
-
- The database is regularly updated and available via internet by
- anonymous ftp:
- ifsws1.sozialforschung.uni-stuttgart.de:/pub/packclus/db/dbyymmdd.zip
-
- I also run a small phone BBS (+(49)-7147-13691) which offers the database
- updated on a daily schedule. For more information, please send me a mail!
-
- The database maintainer is
- Lothar, DL1SBF (packet radio address: DL1SBF @ DB0SDX.#BW.DEU.EU).
- He doesn't have his own internet access right now, but you can try to
- reach him via an internet-packet gateway using the following internet
- address:
- dl1sbf%db0sdx@db0fho.et-inf.fho-emden.de
- (if using this address please notice that he only can send back mail
- via Packet Radio, so from internet this is a one way route!)
-
- Lothar always welcomes comments, corrections and updates.
- Don't expect an answer, simply see the changes in the database when
- you download it next time!
-
- The database consists of two files, SDX_QSL.FUL and SDX_AD.FUL.
- To use it with PacketCluster, run MAKEIDX with both
- (Syntax: MAKEIDX SDX_QSL.FUL 70000) and setup the database definitions
- in your sysop.dat file.
- I recommend using 4 different database files: QSL,SDX_QSL,AD,SDX_AD.
- Use QSL and AD for local updates and SDX_QSL, SDX_AD for the DB0SDX
- database.
- Use 6 SET/COM/CHAIN commands to have a database lookup perform in every
- one of the 4 databases regardless of success in finding an entry or not.
- Make QSL the first database in the chain, with the others following.
- The first SET/COM/CHAIN will make the system lookup in SDX_QSL if nothing
- was found in QSL. The second will make it lookup in SDX_QSL even though
- something was found in QSL! etc. etc.
- 1. SET/COM/CHAIN QSL SDX_QSL
- 2. SET/COM/CHAIN QSL SDX_QSL
- 3. SET/COM/CHAIN SDX_QSL AD
- 4. SET/COM/CHAIN SDX_QSL AD
- 5. SET/COM/CHAIN AD SDX_AD
- 6. SET/COM/CHAIN AD SDX_AD
-
- By doing this the user simply enters a single SH/QSL command and gets all
- available information!
-
- You can check the version date of the databases by using the command
- SH/QSL RECORDS.
-
- Updates: the directory /pub/packclus/db/updates contains update files
- in a special format designed to allow remote updates via packet radio!
- Each update contains the new data updated between the newest database
- version and the version before.
- Please note that deletions are not included!
