Rob, PA3ERC recently posted a message to this reflector looking for a
source of template files for the NA Logging Program. Until now, the
LTA BBS at (216) 528-8877 was the only "on-line" source for these
files.
All this will change very soon. Dave, K8CC and Tom, WB8VMN of DATOM
Engineering are putting the finishing touches on a Web site that will
be a one-stop source of files and information about NA. The following
areas are planned for this site:
- DATOM Product Catalog
- Ordering Information
- Support Information
- DATOM Tech Notes
- NA Revision History
- FTP Download of Program Upgrades (restricted)
- FTP Download of NA Support Files (open)
The capability to do FTP downloads of NA and its related files will be
a powerful convenience for NA users. Access to the actual program
files will be restricted to currently registered NA users, but the
support files area will be open to everyone. By support files, we
mean MASTER.DTA, COUNTRY.DAT, and all of the multiplier (.MLT) and
Contest Rule Template (.CRT) files.
Having the NA revision history on line will allow discerning users to
determine if a particular problem has been addressed, and if so they
can download the version with the fix.
DATOM Tech Notes will be a monthly feature authored by K8CC or WB8VMN
that covers some aspect of setting up or using NA or CVB. We would
welcome your input on what you would like to see covered.
Bill Fisher, W4AN and Akorn Access have graciously agreed to host the
site. We expect to have a first version of the site (but without
download capability) within a week. Download capability should come
soon after. We will announce this status and the URL to the site here
on the reflector, so stay tuned!
73,
DATOM Engineering
