- These programs MUST be installed in directories as follows:
-
- C:\
- │
- └─KB0ZP
- ├─DOCS
- │
- ├─LOG
- │ │
- │ └─CONTESTS
- │
- ├─RPT
- │
- └─UTL
-
- The ARCed versions will automatically set up these directories and put the
- correct files in the correct directories. Make sure that you do not have an
- existing directory named KB0ZP. C:\KB0ZP\LOG\CONTESTS is created, when needed,
- by the KB0ZPLOG.EXE program.
-
- The files MUST be distributed in the directories as follows:
-
- C:\KB0ZP
- This directory contains a few "easy start" batch files and this file.
- It really exists to create a unique directory which would not conflict
- with anything you might already have. Use the batch files to start any
- of the three programs.
-
- C:\KB0ZP\DOCS
- This is where all the .TXT files are kept. These may be printed out by
- any wordprocessor or text editor you may have. Or, you can use the
- KB0ZPUTL program and it will print them for you.
-
- C:\KB0ZP\LOG
- KB0ZPLOG.EXE Main Contesting Program. This program is where all the
- action takes place. It creates the data base which is used by the
- REPORT program to make the reports for award submissions.
-
- All HELP screens. HELP01 etc. are text files and used by the
- KB0ZPLOG.EXE program when needed.
-
- S.BAT An easy starting batch file. From this directory type 's'
- <ENTER> and the program will start.
-
- C:\KB0ZP\LOG\CONTESTS
- This directory is empty to begin with. It has been created to contain
- all the contest data. However, you may specify any directory you wish
- from within the program. This is the default. Remove the data from this
- directory after the contest to a floppy disk or another directory or it
- will be overwritten by the next contest. Label the floppy or directory
- to indicate the contest name and date. ie. FLDDAY95, CQPRE94, SWEEPS99,
- etc. and file for safe-keeping. In a few years you will create a
- library of your contest activity and will be able to recreate all the
- original reports.
-
- C:\KB0ZP\RPT
- KB0ZPRPT.EXE Main Report Program. All reports will be made by this
- program. You must first run the printer set up option which is found
- in the UTILITY program.
-
- KB0ZPCON.FIG This file will contain all the configuration information
- for your printer. You create this file from the KB0ZPUTL.EXE program.
-
- S.BAT An easy starting batch file. From this directory type 's'
- <ENTER> and the program will start.
-
- C:\KB0ZP\UTL
- KB0ZPUTL.EXE Main Utility Program. Different utilities and set ups
- are found here. This file also helps in the printing of all the docs
- and other printed aids available.
-
- Many .TXT files. These text files are the actual docs available.
-
- S.BAT An easy starting batch file. From this directory type 's'
- <ENTER> and the program will start.
-
- NOTE: The Users Guides which are distributed with these programs are to be used
- as a guide only. I am now in the process of putting "context sensitive" help
- screens where necessary, thereby eliminating a Users Guide, which is never read
- anyway. These help screens are activated by pressing F1 when needed.
-
-
- Good Luck in your contesting.
