APRSDEMO.TXT APRS DEMONSTRATION =========================================================================== Document version: 1.00 Document dated: 7 May 98 Author(s): Bob Bruninga, WB4APR ABSTRACT APRSDEMO.TXT Description of APRSDEMO.EXE, including details of how to tailor the script file for new demos. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ APRSdemo.EXE can run a complete autonomous demonstration based on commands from the DEMO-SYS.APR file. This lets APRS show off what it can do with out you having to stand by the screen. Just let it run and entertain visitors at your booth. Even while it is replaying, it is still fully functional and will respond to keyboard commands too... You may save a CONFIG file with your validation number and it will auto start the demonstration. To see how to write a script file, see my DEMO-SYS.APR file. Just modify it or make a new one to suit your demo with a new .XXX extension. Then you can run your demo with a different extension by just executing the program as: C:>APRSDEMO/XXX and it will run from the script file DEMO-SYS.XXX in the SYSTEM directory. It will also attempt to load a CONFIG file by the same extension of .XXX. If this CONIFG file is missing, then it will of course, require you to enter all the config data. So it is best to save a config file of the same .XXX extension. I have created an APRSDEMO.ZIP file that contains APRSDEMO.EXE as well as several DEMO-SYS.XXX scripts. Some of these need special .BK or .HST files not included in normal distribution. So these are included as well. Be sure to use PKUNZIP -d: .APR is the default and it goes through all APRS screens .MIR for replaying many of the APRS Space events .DAY this was my dayton 98 display .WX this highlights WX
