Thanks for trying this software. The DOVE Telemetry Decoder version 2.0 is
designed to decode telemetry data from the DOVE satellite using a PC computer.
It is a windows program and requires windows 3.1. Although it will probably work
on 3.0 as well. It requires a minimum amount of memory and is designed to be
iconified so that you can do other things with your computer as this program is
running in the background.
The program comes two ways. First if you get it off a BBS it will be packaged and
compressed into one program called DOVEDV20.ZIP. Simply use the utility PKUNZIP to
unzip this into its various files. Second if you obtain a distribution disk from me
the various files will be present. Simply copy all the files into the directory of
your choice. Then just execute "dove.exe". If you are upgrading from a previous
release then you might wish to save your old dovedata.bse config.cfg files. The
dovedata.bse is the database that contains the decoded Dove data that you have saved
from the previous release. The config.cfg file contains your RS232 settings. All help
information will be on line in the standard Microsoft windows help format. It is
important to keep all the files that are distributed in the same directory. If you
have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me at the address below.
Please note that this version has a file called BWCC.DLL. This is a Borland* library
that is required to run this program. If you do not currently have this library
then copy this file to c:\windows\system.

BUG FIXES
The following are the bug fixes from version 1.1 to 1.2.
1. Fixed print routine to print all text. Size was being just window size and
now is size of print page.
2. Fixed time print on Raw and Processed if less then 10 seconds or minutes.
Would print as 7:7:7 instead of 7:07:07.
3. Fixed DOVE decode algorithm for real time data capture. Data captured with
a version other than V1.2 maybe invalid.
The following are the bug fixes from version 1.2 to 2.0.
1. Added 19,200 Baud rate for modems that support this.
2. Changed icon to have blue background. This makes dove stand out more.
3. Fixed for TNC's that have * in header like DOVE-1*>TLM .
4. Made program come up in start mode. This is so that program can be
put in startup mode and run from bootup.
5. Added command entry window for commanding TNC.
6. Made fix to handle TNC in AUTOLF ON or OFF mode.
7. Fixed so that will decode with headerln on or off.
8. Fixed so that will decode with mstamp on or off.
9. Improved plotting.
10. Fixed printing so that text is not ultra small.
11. Fixed storing of temp files. Use current directory instead of
TMP variable.
