[TenTec] Orion software, all different iterations

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

The RUF files are just text files with an RUF extension.  Just
download them and then change the file extension to RUF.  You
really only need the ruf extension so the Orion firmware update
program will recognize the file.

I am not a programmer, but my thought is that the files are all
the same length because that is the maximum amount of data that
will fit into the Orion's firmware ROM.  The code is probably
maxed out in terms of length.  All changes are made by revising
various lines of code.

Mark,

I just zipped up all of the RUF files on my drive and when I do
that, they
all come out about 168K.  The unzipped files are all about 665K
text files.
You can look at them in note pad.

John

At this site, I see lots of 170k files. All appear to be the same
length.
I am hesitant to download them for the reason that I doubt all
could be the 
same.

Can anyone help?

Mark
