- Introduction to BayCom V1.20
- ----------------------------
-
-
- Baycom Version 1.20 is the PC version of Digicom, but with
- extra's not seen before. Prior to running Baycom, you should
- edit SCC.INI this is a ASCII file containing your default
- parameters, any text editor will do or a word processor in
- non-document mode.
-
- Do not do this on the disk you reveived, make a copy or two
- first! The default colours are quite good, so you need not
- worry about editing the screen attributes, unless you really
- don't like the colours. Once SCC.INI has been edited, you can
- run PARA.EXE this will compile the file into SCC.PAR for use by
- the program, don't worry PARA.EXE does'nt delete SCC.INI so you
- can do it again till you get it right.
-
- NOTE:
- To make life easier, I've written a short batch file SETUP.BAT to
- automatically bring SCC.INI on screen for editing and compiling
- after running SETUP.BAT you'll be ready to use BayCom!
-
- This version is the first in the UK, it will depend on YOU the
- user if we are to receive updates from Germany, the Baycom team
- have suggested a donation of 20DM, about £8.00 for their
- efforts and so that they can continue more work, this is not
- much to ask! If you don't want to send direct to Germany, then
- send it via me, German currency ONLY (you can get a 20DM note
- from any bank and I'm told Thomas Cook's) I will then send
- these donations on for registration in Germany.
-
- Lets put it this way, how would you like others to know that
- you are using a "unregistered" copy of Baycom? This will become
- clear who did and who did'nt shortly after the first update.
- And all for eight quid!
-
- I hope to produce a detailed English (disk based) manual very
- soon, those who have used Digicom should take to Baycom without
- any problems, a sheet should come with this disk giving details
- on the converstion of the AM7910 Digicom modem and the Baycom
- VHF modem should you wish to build one.
-
- Please do NOT give copies of this disk to others unless it
- contains ALL of the files that are on it now, don't be tempted
- to copy a few files off your hard disk, COPY THE ENTIRE
- DISKETTE! The calls I reveived with people giving just a few
- files from the Digicom program away were far to many, this
- causes new users to be put off and I get a call to sort it all
- out, just because someone could'nt be bothered to copy the
- entire disk! If I receive calls like this again, I'll track the
- offender down and telephone to complain at 3.30am of course!
- Point taken?
-
- Let me also point out again, if you don't register, then you'll
- not receive any updates, you'll also be the meanest amateur in
- the UK!
-
- Please do NOT "reverse engineer" Baycom, if you modify files DO
- NOT PASS them on to others. You could infringe copyright also!!
-
- Baycom Help calls, can be made on a one way basis (I NEVER call
- back) on 0268 727237 after 6.30PM most nights, if I'm out ask
- for a time to call back, don't leave your number or you'll wait
- forever!
