This is a compiled program, with some arrays stored in
memory. For this reason, and for individual convenience
the Data resides in an ASCII file so that you may make
any desired changes with either a Word-Processor or simply
EDLIN. The program provides an "in memory" search. If
you know the EXACT Prefix entry (including case) then that
entry in item one of the Search Menu will provide you with
the Bearing from the QTH which you initialized. If you
are not sure of the Prefix, then items 2 and/or 3 will list
them for you .. rapidly, as the array is placed in memory.
Having located the Prefix by use of items 2 or 3, you may
then enter it under item #1 and your bearing will appear.
When you first run the program, you will want to initialize
your home QTH. That will include the City Name, and its
coordinates (in degrees and minutes). You will also want to
setup two printer codes...Expand ON and Expand Off. These
will be maintained in a .INI file to permit customization.
Although the Initialization requests two (each) printer codes
your printer may only require one; for example, your printer
may require both a 27 and 14 to turn the Expand mode on. The
program is looking for 2 numbers, in this case, 27 and 14...
You may, however, have a printer which only requires a single
number to activate or de-activate the Expand Mode...In this
case you would enter a zero in place of the initial number.
Example: 0,14
Don't forget the comma. If it is not done this way, you will
get a "Redo from start" message. If that happens, simply
enter the numbers correctly.
If you choose the HardCopy Printout of all the listed QTH's
you may choose any "base" location. I have had great luck
in receiving QSL cards (ham radio lingo) after sending a copy
of the listing to the specific station (based on his location).
They love it. The reason for the initialization of your own
location is so that the other features will default to your
locale. for your specific situation.
