The DB0SDX qsl + address database (C) by PacketCluster node DB0SDX
==========(information file readme.upd, last updated 94/05/23)================
You can freely distribute the database, however - this is
as of today a non commercial project.
Please don't charge any money for the distribution!
Please distribute the complete version, including this file README.UPD.
The database is regularly updated and available via internet by
anonymous ftp:
ifsws1.sozialforschung.uni-stuttgart.de:/pub/packclus/db/dbyymmdd.zip
I also run a small phone BBS (+(49)-7147-13691) which offers the database
updated on a daily schedule. For more information, please send me a mail!
The database maintainer is
Lothar, DL1SBF (packet radio address: DL1SBF @ DB0SDX.#BW.DEU.EU).
He doesn't have his own internet access right now, but you can try to
reach him via an internet-packet gateway using the following internet
address:
dl1sbf%db0sdx@db0fho.et-inf.fho-emden.de
(if using this address please notice that he only can send back mail
via Packet Radio, so from internet this is a one way route!)
Lothar always welcomes comments, corrections and updates.
Don't expect an answer, simply see the changes in the database when
you download it next time!
The database consists of two files, SDX_QSL.FUL and SDX_AD.FUL.
To use it with PacketCluster, run MAKEIDX with both
(Syntax: MAKEIDX SDX_QSL.FUL 70000) and setup the database definitions
in your sysop.dat file.
I recommend using 4 different database files: QSL,SDX_QSL,AD,SDX_AD.
Use QSL and AD for local updates and SDX_QSL, SDX_AD for the DB0SDX
database.
Use 6 SET/COM/CHAIN commands to have a database lookup perform in every
one of the 4 databases regardless of success in finding an entry or not.
Make QSL the first database in the chain, with the others following.
The first SET/COM/CHAIN will make the system lookup in SDX_QSL if nothing
was found in QSL. The second will make it lookup in SDX_QSL even though
something was found in QSL! etc. etc.
1. SET/COM/CHAIN QSL SDX_QSL
2. SET/COM/CHAIN QSL SDX_QSL
3. SET/COM/CHAIN SDX_QSL AD
4. SET/COM/CHAIN SDX_QSL AD
5. SET/COM/CHAIN AD SDX_AD
6. SET/COM/CHAIN AD SDX_AD
By doing this the user simply enters a single SH/QSL command and gets all
available information!
You can check the version date of the databases by using the command
SH/QSL RECORDS.
Updates: the directory /pub/packclus/db/updates contains update files
in a special format designed to allow remote updates via packet radio!
Each update contains the new data updated between the newest database
version and the version before.
Please note that deletions are not included!
