360K FLOPPY DRIVE SYSTEM
Although NOT recomended TOTAL HAM will run on a 360K floppy system.
The two dynamic files LOG.DAT & QSLMAN.DAT & .IDX'S will increase in size as
entries are added. The others are of fixed size. Log entries will increase
LOG.DAT by approximately 200 bytes (LOG.IDX by 24 bytes). QSL manager entries
will increase QSLMAN.DAT by approximately 65 bytes (QSLMAN.IDX by 24 bytes).
The combination of these will determine the number of entries the program
will handle. Log only should hold approximately 1400 entries.
Since this program is very disk intensive, speed suffers dramatically.
UNZIPPING:
These ZIP files are too large to fit on one 360K floppy. Use your
unzipping program (pkzip recommended) to extract the files that did
not fit individually.
360K FLOPPY SYSTEM SET UP
NOTE:
TOTAL HAM will no longer fit on a bootable 360K disk. You must follow
the procedures below to make it work.
1 - I suggest you make a bootable disk with a CONFIG.SYS file containing
a minumim of FILES=20. A config.sys file is included & will be on the
system disk when completed.
2 - Place your get clock(time) program on bootable disk & set up the
appropriate AUTOEXEC.BAT file to read it.
3 - use this disk to boot your computer to be sure the enviroment is correct.
The SYSTEM DISK (A DRIVE) should have:
TOTLHAMx.EXE
The DATA DISK A (A DRIVE) should have:
LOG.DAT
LOG.IDX
BEAM.DAT
BEAM.IDX
The DATA DISK B (B DRIVE) should have:
COUNTRY.DAT
COUNTRY.IDX
QSLMAN.DAT
QSLMAN.IDX
STATE.DAT
STATE.IDX
COUNTY.DAT
COUNTY.IDX
The DOCUMENT DISK should have:
TOTLHAMx.DOC
TOTLHAMx.NEW
FLOPPY.DOC
REGISTER.DOC
TOTAL HAM will prompt you to change the SYSTEM DISK with DATA DISK A at the
proper time. This change will allow maximum space for you log. Other
support files will be on B drive.
Use the above procedures for 720K & 1.2 Meg drives also. 1.2 meg drive users
could run on one disk by selecting hard drive in configuration but your log
size could not be really large.
I realize this is a pain, but it is the only way to make a large system such
as The Total Ham to run on small disks. You really should consider a hard disk.
