-
- PRIMARY SERVING NODE:
- ---------------------
- To install CONTEST, load the following files into your PACKCLUS\DB directory:
-
- CONTEST.LIS Shown to user if no argument used with SH/CONTEST
- CONTEST.FUL The database file
- CONTEST.IDX The database index
- CONTEST.POS Shown to user after the specific request
- CONTEST.NF Shown to user if requested information not found
- CONTEST.AOK Shown to user if update is attempted
-
- NOTE: The database index may not always be included. If it is missing,
- you will need to perform the following using the MAKEIDX utility:
-
- MAKEIDX CONTEST.FUL 300
-
- Next, add the following lines to your SYSOP.DAT file:
-
- SET/COMMAND CONTEST CONTEST.LIS CONTEST.FUL/CONTEST.IDX * CONTEST.POS CONTEST.NF
- SET/COMMAND/COMMENT CONTEST Contest calendar and information
-
- If you did not shut down the node to install the database, type in the
- above two lines as SYSOP commands.
-
- After reviewing the DOC files, PBT_DB.DOC and CONTEST.DOC, you may delete them
- from your database directory. You should store the database ZIP file in a
- save place.
-
- REMOTE NODE:
- ------------
- Other nodes may access the database from the SERVING node by adding lines
- to their SYSOP.DAT and/or typing in the lines as a command. If the callsign
- of the node where the database is installed is WB6EXC, then the other nodes
- would execute the following commands:
-
- SET/COMMAND CONTEST * * * * * WB6EXC
- SET/COMMAND/COMMENT CONTEST Contest calendar and information
-
- CLUSTER COMPANION:
- ------------------
- Users of Cluster Companion should install the database following the same
- procedure as PRIMARY SERVING NODE above, but observing the proper directory
- and callsign entries for that user.
-
- PCDB:
- -----
- Users of the PacketCluster Database Reader program should install the
- database files into the directory shown in the SET/DIRECTORY line of their
- SYSOP.DAT file. If no entry, install in same directory where PCDB resides.
- The following command in SYSOP.DAT should be entered:
-
- SET/COMMAND CONTEST #LIS CONTEST.FUL/CONTEST.IDX * #POS #NF
-
- An additional (optional) entry would be:
-
- SET/COMMAND/COMMENT CONTEST Contest calendar and information
-
- DIFFICULTY:
- -----------
- Should any difficulty be experienced installing any database files, or you
- need more information, you may wish to read over Database Installation in
- your manual (or DOC file) with PacketCluster, Cluster Companion, or PCDB.
