algorithms (thus with the same accuracy and limitations), and can be interfaced
with GeoClock and a logging software. It can simultaneously calculate several
circuits, each using up to five antennas at each end of each circuit, an option
asked by contesters using "antenna farms" on as many as five bands. Some data
are extracted from external files like antennas and locations that list 35000
cities world-wide and calls several other programs. Representing about 50 MB on
disk, 500 files and 50 directories, it is thus not available for demo purposes
due to its size.</FONT></P>

great even if they show some "adaptations" due to the underlying Delphi engine
that scales differently according to resolutions and operating systems. The
world map is fully graphical, using EGA or BMP image which colors are a little
too bright due to the use of GeoClock, ACE' standard interface.</FONT></P>

sorted by feature, but it is non contextual (you cannot press F1 and get help on
a field) and you need to browse the document to find a specific item. It should
be converted in Microsoft HLP format and fully indexed to be really useful as
not all users will take the time to read its 46 pages, even if they are very
educative and their reading highly recommended. In this context the narrative
mode can help the casual amateur.</FONT><FONT face=Tahoma> </FONT></P>
