- [See bug report at end of this file.]
-
- This "ARC" file contains the Microsoft BASIC (tm) source code for
- the Duper log editing program listed in the "Contests" chapter of
- The ARRL Operating Manual, Third Edition. The program takes
- keyboard input, reports whether the callsign entered was worked
- before, and counts valid and duplicate contacts. The number of
- valid contacts and duplicates are reported and a duplicate sheet
- is built. An output file holding a complete listing of all the
- contacts made on a particular band, in alphabetical order is
- produced.
-
- In addition to the program listing, I've also included a compiled
- executable version of the program. The executable version (same
- program name but with the suffix '.EXE') runs 10 to 20 times
- faster than the usual interpreted version, so you'll probably
- prefer to use it rather the .BAS version. The executable program
- is set up to run on any computer even vaguely compatible with the
- IBM-PC. If you are able to read this message, your computer is
- probably up to the task.
-
- To run the compiled program, simply type the program name at the
- screen prompt. For example, type DUPER at the A> prompt.
-
- Some reminders:
-
- 1. If you want the callsigns in your dupe sheet to appear in
- capital letters, be sure to type them in with caps on.
-
- Although this program was tested on a variety of computers and
- peripheral combinations, there are undoubtedly systems that may
- balk at something in this program. If you do encounter problems
- with your system, please let me know; I may not be able to help,
- but perhaps I can ask someone who can give assistance. Of
- course, if you find any bugs or have any suggestions for
- improvements to this program, please let me hear about these,
- too.
