Why ? 

  This program has been developt to work with pointers AND have a tool under
  LinuX to do the logging in a contest PLUS analyse the logfile. 

*** How to install ?

  Please refer to the file INSTALL.

*** How to use contest ?

1. run it with 'contest logfile.sampl'. ( I prefer using the date like 1_3_97
   as logfilename ).
2. Now you may enter a callsign 
     ( no rulez - means everything is allowed - no check )
   or hit "RETURN" to go to the next position.

3. In the RST IN - section rulez are: [1-5][1-9][1-9] 

4. In the RST GOT - section rulez are: [1-5][1-9][1-9][1-9][1-9][1-9]

5. In the LOCATOR - section rulez are: [a-z][a-z][1-9][1-9][a-z][a-z]
     Pressing "RETURN" after a complete LOCATOR has been entered, distance
     and direction appear at the END of the line.

If everything was ok the line is saved in the file, 
srolls up one line and you may enter a new callsign. 
Else the cursor appears again at the callsign ... and so on .. until
everything is ok.

6. If the first 3 letters and more already exist in the logfile the already 
   worked stations appear in the upper window with time and number.
 
7. To finish type 'QUIT' as callsign and press "RETURN"
 

*** How to use auswert ?

1. Edit the file auswert.conf

	Name of the contest
	Date - day
	Date - month   ( NUMBER !!! )
	Date - year
	Group
	Your Callsign
	Licence (A,B,C)
	DOK
	Number of countrys worked
	Single or  Multioperator station (E,M)
	Adress - name
	Adress - street
	Adress - PLZ + City
	Receiver
	Transmitter
	Output power (watt)
	Preamplifier
	Antenna
	Height of antenna above ground
	Height of antenna at all
   
   You have to use this form, leave empty lines if you can't fill something
   in (e.G. no preamplifier). 

2. run it with 'auswert logfile.sampl'.

After this the different locators appear follow bye
total kilometers and average kilometers, a file named
'inputlogfilename.tex' is created. This is a normal latex2e file which might
be translated into a dvi-file using 

'latex logfile.sampl.tex'

and further into a Postscript-file using

'dvips logfile.sampl.dvi'

Use 'xdvi' to view the TeX-file or 'ghostview' for the Postscript-file.

*** How to use sort_countrys ?

1. run it with 'sort_countrys logfile'

2. count the countrys you worked

3. quit typing "q"

4. Edit auswert.conf and insert the number of countrys 


 
*** Problems:
  If ncurses are installed you may have to change the first line in
  curses.c from
       #include <curses.h>
  to
       #include "/usr/include/curses.h"
  or where ever the original curses includefile is. 
  Be sure that it really is the original one cause the ncurses includefile has
  the same name.
