- Mic is a database written by John Campbell, KC4LWI. Review it by viewing
- the files MIC.LIS and MIC.FUL. MIC.LIS will be displayed to the user who
- types SH/MIC <ENTER>. MIC.FUL is the database itself. MIC.AOK is
- furnished to limit updates (SYSOP should change if desired), and MIC.NF is
- provided to help the user if the MIC is not found.
-
- To implement SH/MIC, first load the files into your PACKCLUS\DB directory.
-
- With this release of the MIC database, I have included the index file.
- Indexing at this time is not necessary, however, if you need to reindex,
- then, make the index file by executing the MAKEIDX utility as follows:
-
- MAKEIDX MIC.FUL 100 <ENTER>
-
- Next, add the following lines to your SYSOP.DAT file:
-
- SET/COMMAND MIC MIC.LIS MIC.FUL/MIC.IDX * * MIC.NF
- SET/COMMAND/COMMENT MIC MIC data prepared by KC4LWI
-
- And, if you didn't shut down the node to install the database, type in the
- above lines as SYSOP commands.
-
- Other nodes may access the database on your node by adding a line to their
- SYSOP.DAT and/or typing in the line as a command. If the callsign of the
- node where the database is installed is K5GH, then the other nodes would
- execute the following commands (in SYSOP.DAT and/or as direct commands):
-
- SET/COMMAND MIC * * * * * K5GH
- SET/COMMAND/COMMENT MIC MIC data prepared by KC4LWI
-
- Suggestions and comments for KC4LWI can be included in the disk mailed
- monthly to W6GO/K6HHD.
-
- The reason that this database was developed is simple. It is not at all
- DX related, but I was/am doing so much work with DIGI's that I stored all
- of my data on my computer. Then a couple others requested the data so I
- developed the DB format for the cluster, and so that others can quickly
- gain access to this data, it is being uploaded to W6GO.
