Hamview started life as a quick way to display the current repeater
list. Then I added a list of cixen radio hams. Then a list
of packet radio BBSs (and why not).
Oh the Find command in the menu is CASE SENSITIVE. Try looking for
the string 'DX' in the packetbbs list for example.
See what you think.
INSTALLATION.
1- You need VBRUN300.DLL (widely available) in c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ (not supplied)
2- Put THREED.VBX (unless you have a later version) in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\
3- Put the *.HVW files in C:\HAMVIEW\ (sorry, they have to go there)
4- Put HAMVIEW.EXE anywhere (but c:\HAMVIEW is tidy)
Either click on HAMVIEW.EXE from file manager, or install
an icon in Program manager for hamview.exe
HOW TO USE
The small 'available lists' box (top right) should contain four
names corresponding to amateur radio cixen, 2m and 70cm repeaters
and packet bbss.
Click one of the names, and the itmes in the list appear in the larger
box bottom right. Click the first entry to place all the items on
the UK map (this is visually entertaining but not very clear to look
at). Once displayed you can click each item on the map, or in the
list to examine the contents.
And that's it really. (Written in Visual basic 3)
