The following is a list of bug fixes and program changes since HyperLog was
first released in 1990.
Manual last revised on February 13, 1992.
Program revisions:
1.90 03/06/90 - Initial Shareware release.
1.91 03/16/90 - Added utility to allow merging auxiliary
files (typically) created on another machine, with
the master file.
Added Toggles to the Setup program to allow turning
Beep off/on and use fast windows instead of special
effects.
Changed printer test code due to problem with some
generic 386 machines.
Added report option to generate a print out of all
countries NEVER worked on any band.
Added code to better center printed headers.
Fixed bug when UTC = N was selected in Setup, DOS
and GMT time was set incorrectly.
Fixed bug with menu offering sort output by band
showing up at wrong selection.
1.92 04/13/90 - Fixed Received RST changing in Edit mode
when Sent RST was modified.
Added command F3 to blank screen for RFI problems.
Pressing any key after blanking returns screen.
1.93 05/05/90 - Fixed problem with Alaska and Hawaii not
adding to the country totals in ALT Q display.
Fixed type-ahead problem during startup which caused
the date and time to be bypassed during record entry.
Fixed problem when the Net/RoundTable window was open,
the CQ zone was not being entered for new contacts.
Fixed a problem with the ALT U window not closing if
an incorrect entry was made in several of the select-
ions.
____________________________________________________________
HyperLog HyperLog
Added File export utility to write the Hyperlog data-
base to a Dbase III or ASCII file.
Added File import utility to read a Dbase III file
and convert it to HyperLog format. See Additional
Notes section on page 36 for specifics.
Fixed problem with prompt NOT appearing with ALT U
#4 and erroneously appearing with ALT U #2.
1.94 06/01/90 - Added capability to display the database
in reverse order as entered. See page 37 for details.
Fixed problem with frequency reverting to default
when adding contacts while Autopilot is OFF.
1.95 07/01/90 - Fixed problem with Shell to Dos (ALT O)
resetting Autopilot to ON if it had been OFF.
Fixed problem with country add utility (ALT U #6)
that caused certain prefixes to add incorrectly.
Changed method of time keeping - Now HyperLog DOES
NOT modify the computer clock. All time changes are
done in the program only.
Fixed problem with Address fields being blanked out
when moving through them in reverse. Also, fields
now show in the correct order when in edit and mov-
ing left from field to field.
Fixed problem with F10 key not working when in
Address fields.
Fixed problem with record overwrite when editing
after calling up records using a blank entry for
call sign.
Fixed problem where entering first character
sometimes erased the existing field input while in
Edit mode.
Added the ability to print to a file. Now, when you
ask to print a report, if the printer is off or not
ready, a menu pops up and asks you to select from
several options in order to continue. One of the
options is to print to a file. If you select this
option, you will be prompted for a file name to
print to.
____________________________________________________________
HyperLog HyperLog
Added report to print out contacts you have sent
cards to but you have NOT received a card in return.
Fixed numerous problems with the Dbase III import
utility.
Modified the call sign evaluator so when an
unassigned prefix is encountered, it will auto-
matically pop open the ALT X window.
Fixed problem (created in ver 1.94) where Qsl-
Received and QslSent were not entering default 'N'
when left blank.
1.96 07/30/90 - Added code to read Band, Mode and Fre-
quency from all Icom radios, Ten-Tec Paragon, Ken-
wood 440, 940 950 and up and Heath SS9000 when
entering contacts.
Added code to save DOS screen and colors at startup
and restore same when program ends.
Added the ability to export an exact type image to a
Dbase III+ file that can be imported back into
HyperLog. This will allow you to perhaps sort the
database in a particular way using Dbase III then,
after deleting your HYPERLOG.PBF master file, import
the sorted database back into HyperLog. See page 37
of this manual for details.
Added a temperature conversion pop-up window. It
Allows you to enter either Fahrenheit or Centigrade
and convert to the other one. No more guessing!
Press F5 to run.
Added the "F" keys to the F1 Help window. F1 through
F5 are now used for various functions.
Added window to ASCII Export feature to show progress
as file is written to disk.
Added "comma" to ASCII export file after "Zone" that
was overlooked.
Fixed garbage occurring in the Address2 field if no
data was entered.
Added Country Prefix to end of both ASCII export
file and Dbase III+ export file.
____________________________________________________________
HyperLog HyperLog
Modified Dbase "image" import so the last two fields
are "character" fields rather than "numeric". This
was required to handle problems with Paradox exports.
Fixed problem with previous contacts display showing
deleted contacts when a blank call was entered.
Added Tab and Shift-Tab to move from field to field.
Page up, Page dn as well as CTL F and CTL A also
move the cursor from one field to another.
1.97 08/28/90 - Added "nosort" option for RoundTable.
Added SETUP option to select whether label pop-up
after contact entry occurs when a Y is entered
in QSL sent column. If you are not using labels,
this will allow you to eliminate this label prompt.
Changed Address/ Remarks field action to be consis-
tent with SETUP option. Now, if you select to NOT
have Address/Remarks pop-up automatically, they
won't no matter what the Autopilot setting. Before,
they would still pop-up if Autopilot was OFF.
Modified date printout on labels. Month now is
spelled out (ie JAN for January) rather than use
a number (ie. 01). This should eliminate confusion
as to what date format you are using when someone
receives a label. Along the same lines, the time is
now prefixed with UTC on the label IF you are using
UTC time for your log. If you are still using local
(for some esoteric reason) the time will continue
to be prefixed with the word TIME.
Fixed problem with QSL count being incorrect on ALT Q
display.
1.98 10/01/90 - Expanded Net/RoundTable window to include
Date and Time fields. The date and time are entered
automatically from the program clock.
Added the ability to printout the entries in the
Net/RoundTable window by pressing the F6 key. If the
printer is off, you will be offered the option to
print the list to a file.
Added option to SETUP to allow selection of FST or
AM modes. Contacts can be entered in one or the
other but NOT both modes.
____________________________________________________________
HyperLog HyperLog
Fixed problem with status line (line 25) options not
showing up on LCD displays when running BW80 mode.
Added option to enter a callsign to print in the
"Personalized for" block when printing out country
bearing/distance listings.
Modified call sign look-up to ONLY do a partial match
on three characters or less. This avoids the problem
of having, for instance, N0AT and N0ATW in your data-
base, entering N0AT and instead of ONLY N0AT showing
up in the previous contacts column, N0AT AND N0ATW
both show up.
Modified label printout to limit frequency listing
to three decimal places when frequencies below 10Mhz.
are printed.
Modified Call Sign look-up to allow MARS calls to be
entered without the country locator trying to assign
the MARS call to a country. Entering MARS calls will
allow them to be logged to the database but they will
not trigger any QSL or country data displays.
Modified QSL Sent column to allow a B, D, or M along
with a Y, N & L. These letters can be used to note
if a card is sent to the bureau, manager or direct.
Note: to print labels in batch mode, you still need
to use an L in this column to trigger the label batch
mode print procedure. The QSL Received column still
only takes a Y, N or blank.
Added ability to log Maritime Mobile contacts.
Modified the K1EA conversion program to handle
Sweepstakes data as allowed in the latest version.
Decreased the size of the country index to save space.
1.99 11/10/90 Added New Brunswick and Prince Edward Is. to
the Canadian province list. These were over-looked in
earlier releases.
Fixed problem with help windows closing prematurely.
Fixed problem with UK Russian prefixes.
Added Feet to Meter and Meter to Feet conversion
capability to the Temperature conversion, F5.
____________________________________________________________
HyperLog HyperLog
Added ability to abort a printout once started. If
you press any key while printing, a prompt will ask
you if you want to abort.
Name, Remarks and both Address fields now accept
mixed case input rather than force all caps.
Fixed problem with label print to disk loosing a
space if there was no address2.
Fixed problem with CVRTK1EA program incorrectly
determining end of file.
Added Yaesu 757 and 1000 to supported radios.
Fixed problem with CVRTK1EA program abnormally
ending when it encountered a prefix that was
not assigned.
Corrected several problems in country zones,
country prefixes etc. and added to FIXCTRY.EXE
file.
Added feature to "automatically" insert "59" or,
if using CW "599" in both the SENT and RECEIVED
fields by pressing the F9 key.
Added feature to allow you to increment/decrement
the date by pressing ALT + to increment and ALT -
to decrement. Obviously, this only works when
Autopilot is OFF.
Fixed problem with SV prefixes.
Fixed problem with first character of time being
erased if a certain key sequence was pressed.
Fixed problem where CTL A would not move left past
the QSL S field.
Fixed problem of write-thru when modes write to
screen and Net/Roundtable window is up.
Fixed problem with pulling data into current record
from previous contacts when previous contact is not
the same as currently entered call.
1.99.4 Fixed problem with abnormal end when importing from
a Dbase III file and when exporting to an ASCII file.

HyperLog HyperLog
1.99.5 Now reads ICOM and Kenwood frequency/mode continuously.
Also will change radio frequency/mode for Icom and
Kenwood radio's when either is changed in the program.
1.99.6 Corrected problem with K1EA conversion and SETUP
program.
1.99.7 Corrected problem with dBase export causing runtime
100 errors. Removed the callsign on the Address
label due to numerous requests. Apparently the
envelopes are being opened in a number of countries
if the callsign is seen on the label to retrieve any
money/irc's that may be inside. Added support for
Yaesu 747GX. Added support for COM3 and COM4.
Changed instructions in help file for setting the
hours difference from UTC in SETUP. Information
listed was incorrect for East Longitudes. Added
ability to set "OSC" mode in Setup.
2.0 02/13/92 - Added PacketCluster/Packet Radio support,
a full screen database browser, a full screen
report browser, Yaesu 1000 new ROM support,
frequency set and mode set for all supported radios,
PacketCluster DX Spot announcement, automatic Packet-
Cluster DX Spot database query and notification,
completely new Database engine, much more robust
error checking, reduced memory requirements through
the use of overlays, "softened" the color of most
windows, added Windows and Deskview detection and
adaption, shell to DOS now releases all but about
25K of memory to allow running of any other
program, support for calling a GrayLine (or other)
program from within HyperLog, additional statistics
on QSL screen for DXCC and WAS, allows user to mark
countries as deleted - nondisplay, and others to
numerous to include here.
