Welcome to HyperLog 2.25! If you are a new user to HyperLog I hope you will
take the time to read the manual all the way through at least once to become
familiar with all the different functions available within the program. If
you have been using HyperLog and are familiar with it, you probably just want
to look over the installation section as SETUP has new options for Packet and
other functions, also look at the sections titled PACKET, Database Browser,
and Report Browser. Registered users of HyperLog versions prior to 2.0 should
call us at 404-844-8874 to obtain their new serial number free of charge to
unlock the new features. See the manual for details on registration. The
manual is located in HYPERLOG.DOC. To print it to your printer, issue the
DOS command COPY HYPERLOG.DOC PRN. It is about 60 pages or so.
IF YOU ARE A USER OF PREVIOUS VERSIONS, MAKE SURE YOU READ THE TOPICS
"PACKET" AND "SETUP" IN HYPERLOG.DOC TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE CHANGES THAT
HAVE BEEN MADE THAT MAY REQUIRE CHANGES TO FIELDS IN SETUP. Also, if you
are using a previous version below 2.22 (but not 1.xx) then DO NOT copy
your HYPERLOG.IX file to the directory you put this version (2.25) in. If
you are extracting version 2.25 OVER your old files, make sure you delete
your old HYPERLOG.IX file before starting version 2.25 if upgrading from
a version prior to 2.22.
IMPORTANT!!!
None of the files from versions below 2.0 are compatible with version 2.25 so
MAKE SURE you DO NOT extract the files from this version in the same directory
where you have old version files. The only file from a version prior to 2.0
that can be used is HYPERLOG.PBF. It can be converted to the new format. See
HYPERLOG.DOC for conversion information.
NOTICE! ************************************************
Remember, if you are updating from a version prior to this one but still a
version 2.x, AND you are extracting these new files OVER your old ones,
once you finish the extraction, make sure you DELETE the file named
PICKLIST.DAT to force HyperLog to rebuild it and other sort files to handle
any changes to the new country file AND run ALT U, #5 to rebuild your QSL
stats.
FOR VERSION 2.0, 2.01 and 2.02 USERS ONLY!
If you are currently using version 2.0 or above, you can copy the 2.25 files
over your old ones; however, please see the note below about the country and
assign files. If you are converting from 2.0, please make sure you delete
your old CONFIG.REC file before running the new SETUP. There have been
numerous additions to SETUP in 2.25 and the old file is no longer compatible.
You might want to run the old 2.0 version of SETUP and print out your old
settings before you replace your files with version 2.25.
If you have been using version 2.0 or above AND have added any new countries
to your country database or modified any existing countries data, you might
now want to use the 2.25 COUNTRY.PBF and ASSIGN.PBF files. If you do, you will
overwrite the country changes you have made and you will have to re-enter
those changes. If you want to take advantage of the new additions/corrections
to the country files, you can overwrite you old ASSIGN & COUNTRY files and
then re-enter your country data changes/additions. If you do use the new
Country & Assign files, and you overwrite your other files, you should then
delete the file PICKLIST.DAT to force HyperLog to rebuild a new picklist from
the new country files and run ALT U, #5 to rebuild your qsl stats.
