- 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.
