Mic is a database written by John Campbell, KC4LWI. Review it by viewing
the files MIC.LIS and MIC.FUL. MIC.LIS will be displayed to the user who
types SH/MIC <ENTER>. MIC.FUL is the database itself. MIC.AOK is
furnished to limit updates (SYSOP should change if desired), and MIC.NF is
provided to help the user if the MIC is not found.
To implement SH/MIC, first load the files into your PACKCLUS\DB directory.
With this release of the MIC database, I have included the index file.
Indexing at this time is not necessary, however, if you need to reindex,
then, make the index file by executing the MAKEIDX utility as follows:
MAKEIDX MIC.FUL 100 <ENTER>
Next, add the following lines to your SYSOP.DAT file:
SET/COMMAND MIC MIC.LIS MIC.FUL/MIC.IDX * * MIC.NF
SET/COMMAND/COMMENT MIC MIC data prepared by KC4LWI
And, if you didn't shut down the node to install the database, type in the
above lines as SYSOP commands.
Other nodes may access the database on your node by adding a line to their
SYSOP.DAT and/or typing in the line as a command. If the callsign of the
node where the database is installed is K5GH, then the other nodes would
execute the following commands (in SYSOP.DAT and/or as direct commands):
SET/COMMAND MIC * * * * * K5GH
SET/COMMAND/COMMENT MIC MIC data prepared by KC4LWI
Suggestions and comments for KC4LWI can be included in the disk mailed
monthly to W6GO/K6HHD.
The reason that this database was developed is simple. It is not at all
DX related, but I was/am doing so much work with DIGI's that I stored all
of my data on my computer. Then a couple others requested the data so I
developed the DB format for the cluster, and so that others can quickly
gain access to this data, it is being uploaded to W6GO.
