- Welcome to HyperLog 2.23! If you are a new user to HyperLog I hope you will
- take the time to read the manual all the way through at least once to become
- familiar with all the different functions available within the program. If
- you have been using HyperLog and are familiar with it, you probably just want
- to look over the installation section as SETUP has new options for Packet and
- other functions, also look at the sections titled PACKET, Database Browser,
- and Report Browser. Registered users of HyperLog versions prior to 2.0 should
- call us at 404-844-8874 to obtain their new serial number free of charge to
- unlock the new features. See the manual for details on registration. The
- manual is located in HYPERLOG.DOC. To print it to your printer, issue the
- DOS command COPY HYPERLOG.DOC PRN. It is about 60 pages or so.
-
- HyperLog 2.23 has support for the QRZ CD ROM! If you were currently using
- the BuckMaster CD ROM with an earlier version of HyperLog, make sure you run
- through the new SETUP.EXE program and reselect the BuckMaster prompt before
- running 2.23. This is necessary to set up a couple of new variables added
- to handle QRZ. See CHANGES.DOC for other new features added. HyperLog 2.23
- has numerous changes! IF YOU ARE A USER OF PREVIOUS VERSIONS, MAKE SURE YOU
- READ THE TOPICS "PACKET" AND "SETUP" IN HYPERLOG.DOC TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE
- CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE THAT MAY REQUIRE CHANGES TO FIELDS IN SETUP.
- Also, if you are using a previous version below 2.22 (but not 1.xx) then DO
- NOT copy your HYPERLOG.IX file to the directory you put this version (2.23)
- in. If you are extracting version 2.23 OVER your old files, make sure you
- delete your old HYPERLOG.IX file before starting version 2.23 if upgrading
- from a version prior to 2.22.
-
- IMPORTANT!!!
-
- None of the files from versions below 2.0 are compatible with version 2.23 so
- MAKE SURE you DO NOT extract the files from this version in the same directory
- where you have old version files. The only file from a version prior to 2.0
- that can be used is HYPERLOG.PBF. It can be converted to the new format. See
- HYPERLOG.DOC for conversion information.
-
- NOTICE! ************************************************
-
- Remember, if you are updating from a version prior to this one but still a
- version 2.x, AND you are extracting these new files OVER your old ones,
- once you finish the extraction, make sure you DELETE the file named
- PICKLIST.DAT to force HyperLog to rebuild it and other sort files to handle
- any changes to the new country file AND run ALT U, #5 to rebuild your QSL
- stats.
-
- FOR VERSION 2.0, 2.01 and 2.02 USERS ONLY!
-
- If you are currently using version 2.0 or above, you can copy the 2.23 files
- over your old ones; however, please see the note below about the country and
- assign files. If you are converting from 2.0, please make sure you delete
- your old CONFIG.REC file before running the new SETUP. There have been
- numerous additions to SETUP in 2.23 and the old file is no longer compatible.
- You might want to run the old 2.0 version of SETUP and print out your old
- settings before you replace your files with version 2.23.
-
- If you have been using version 2.0 or above AND have added any new countries
- to your country database or modified any existing countries data, you might
- now want to use the 2.23 COUNTRY.PBF and ASSIGN.PBF files. If you do, you will
- overwrite the country changes you have made and you will have to re-enter
- those changes. If you want to take advantage of the new additions/corrections
- to the country files, you can overwrite you old ASSIGN & COUNTRY files and
- then re-enter your country data changes/additions. If you do use the new
- Country & Assign files, and you overwrite your other files, you should then
- delete the file PICKLIST.DAT to force HyperLog to rebuild a new picklist from
- the new country files and run ALT U, #5 to rebuild your qsl stats.
