DXHUNTER 5.2: DISTRIBUTION AND REGISTRATION.
FOR DISTRIBUTION (TO FRIENDS OR TO BBS) SEE THE FINAL PART OF THIS
SECTION.
The DXHUNTER 5.2 software packet is available in 2 different
configurations: FREEWARE (freely copiable and distributable), and FULL
(requires registration and is not distributable). Both configurations
are performed by the SAME program.
The difference between the two configurations stays into an encrypted
file (USER.BIN) that you can modify at any time, turning the program
from FREEWARE into FULL, by entering your personal user code into the
REGISTER.EXE program (to obtain your user code, see below).
The FREEWARE version has the following functional limitations:
SPOT ANALYSIS (and consequent alert) is performed with a 50% random
probability (anyway all incoming spots are displayed even if not
analysed).
AUTOMATIC RECONNECTION is performed only with a 50% random
probability.
ON LINE PREFIX CHECK (F6) is limited to 3 tries per session.
AUDIO FUNCTIONS and RTX REMOTE CONTROL (via RS232) are completey
disabled.
The MONITOR MODE (DX spot reception, while disconnected), is enabled
only during the first 30 minutes of a session; a registered user can
require a special monitor-enabling floppy disk to be inserted into A:
drive, to have the monitor function enabled at any time (see below).
* THE DXPEDITION/SKED REMINDER accepts 3 items only.
* Different acoustic signalling on incoming talk, and automatic talk
reply function, in case of NOHERE operator (Alt-Z), are disabled.
* LOOP RECORDER's maximum loop duration is fixed to 2 seconds.
Anyway the FREEWARE version is a good evaluation kit to test the
functions which will be ALL enabled during the first 30 minutes of
every session (the functions marked with a star keep their limitations
also during the first 30 minutes)
This allows you to understand the great power of DXHUNTER and, alone,
may give you good results.
Distribution of this software packet to friends or via BBS circuit is
warmly encouraged (for details see the final part of this section).
To turn a FREEWARE version into your FULL REGISTERED one, start
REGISTER.EXE program select option 2 and enter your user code.
For registration details you'll have to contact me directly via RADIO
BBS circuit (IK4VYX@I4UJB.IEMR.ITA.EU), via Internet E-Mail
(vmi@vmi.it), via DX-CLUSTER (home node T77T-6) via phone (+39 545
32916, Fabrizio after 19 UTC); I require a direct contact to get an
REGISTER.TXT page 1
exact idea about the number of OMs interested in the program compared
to the number of registrations.
If you register, you'll then be able to use DXHUNTER with no
functional limitations and get FREE access to any future upgrading:
your user code will work with any future release.
If you have any doubt or question, do not hesitate to contact me.
Enjoy DXHUNTER and grow up! If you're not a registered user yet, I
suggest you to test the freeware version for a long period, to
discover its real power and originality, then to imagine it without
any functional limitation...
Many big DXers are currently using DXHUNTER with great satisfaction;
now they would not be able to abandon this useful program any longer.
***BBS DISTRIBUTION AND FORWARDING NOTES
The complete packet size is more than 1 M, too much for a single block
and it suggests to create 2 distinct 500K blocks.
The first block will be the main evaluation kit, while the second one
will contain the utilities.
Please, follow the next instructions to create the 2 blocks.
BLOCK1.
Put the following files into a directory:
INSTALL.EXE, EXEFILES.EXE, CFGFILES.EXE, README.1ST, READ1.TXT,
FILE_ID.DIZ.
With a compressing utility (ARJ or PKZIP) compress above files into a
single one, naming it as DXH52E1.ARJ or DXH52E1.ZIP.
Upload created block to BBS.
(before uploading the block to BBS, verify it is not already present
by issuing the command FF DXH*.*; the BBS should perform this name
check automatically, anyway).
-> Suggested block description:
PCL:ALERT ON NEWONES & MUCH MORE!
BLOCK2.
Put the following files into a directory:
ARCFILES.EXE, VOICE.EXE, READ2.TXT, FILE_ID2.DIZ.
With a compressing utility (ARJ or PKZIP) compress above files into a
single one, naming it as DXH52E2.ARJ or DXH52E2.ZIP.
Upload created block to BBS.
(before uploading the block to BBS, verify it is not already present
by issuing the command FF DXH*.*; the BBS should perform this name
check automatically, anyway)
-> Suggested block description:
UTILITIES FOR DXHUNTER (5.2)
If you see that a previous release of DXHUNTER is available on BBS you
can upload the newer one, leaving a message to the SYSOP, so that he
can delete the older.
Please note that it's very important to respect the suggested block
names (DXH52E1 and DXH52E2): they will be a good search key for
everybody.
REGISTER.TXT page 2
If you are a registered user, please pay attention not to include your
USER.BIN file into any block: in that case nobody could use the
program with a CALL different from YOURS!!!.If no USER.BIN is
included, A FREEWARE USER.BIN is automatically created and the user
will then be able to turn the FREEWARE into a FULL registered version
by passing his personal user code to the program REGISTER.EXE.
To obtain a personal user code, see above.
Thanks in advance, for distributing this program.

perform spot voice announcement on SOUND BLASTER or equivalent or PC

If you are a registered user, please pay attention not to include your
USER.BIN file into the distribution copy: in that case nobody could
