I've been happily using WinAPRS 2.5.1 on an MS WinXP laptop for a while
now, seem to have no bugs or problems with it but have a mish-mash of maps
in various formats in the maps directory (Palm, Tiger, 100k, Aprs-DOS, etc.)
Some of the maps I like, some leave a lot to be desired (although they do
fill in the gaps), and some, well, are there. Specifically, the ones I seem
to prefer are 100k versions but I cannot seem to find any software to make
them with.
I have tried the mk100k41.exe to make detailed Aprs-DOS maps and am not
thrilled with its limitations or some of the results ... anyone know where
I might find software to make 100k maps from the USGS data? Or is this one
of those 'write your own solutions' type of things?
For background, I estimate I'll need to make about 15 or so maps within
the next month or so, and longer term would like to create a batch of the
I-90 corridor from Albany, NY through Cleveland, OH; I-80/I-90 corridor from
Cleveland to Chicago, IL; I-75 corridor from I-90 in OH to Northern MI to
replace my hodge-podge. Even further down the road would be I-80 from Chicago
to Sacramento, CA.
Thanks in advance ...

Subject: UNIX tar Help needed (APRS Honest)

Gents,
Wonder if you can help with my UNIX tar question.
I have read through the MAN pages but I must be missing something crucial.
I want to add these two files, located in different directories:-
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/aprslog/index.php
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/images/banner.jpg
To the tar file called /root/aprs.tar
Would I use this command ?
tar cvf /root/aprs.tar /usr/local/apache/htdocs/aprslog/index.php
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/images/banner.jpg
When I do a tar xvf /root/aprs.tar, it removes the leading "/" and starts
creating the directory structure from where ever I am. eg
/root/usr/local/apache/htdocs/ which is not where I want them to extract
to, I want them to go into the directory from where they came from.
My only option would be move the tar file to the root / and tar xvf from
there to preserve the directory structure. How do I tell tar to "extract
from anywhere, to where it was originally archived from"
I suppose my question is "How do you preserve the directory structures" in
tar ?
What I would like to do is just tar xvf from anywhere, and the files go
into the right directories.

Is there anyone in the Bethany, OK area that can go to the Wiley Post
airport and take pictures of what is left of my airplane.
I left it there for service and was to pick it up Tuesday. It is a Jet
Commander. I received a phone call from The ServiCenter, on NW50th, that
there is now a hanger roof on top of it.
They are too busy and still don't have power so they can't e-mail pictures
to me.

Yoiu might have something there Jamie. I was up at midnight last night and
at about 1201 the first "DisposePtr of invalid pts (DisposePtr)" error
message popped up. Immediately close the error window, then two more popped
up which got closed. It stopped generating the error message and
stabilized, never crashed.

MacDLG my Mike Mustick is the solution... but only runs on a mac.
I have run it on a macintosh emulator called executor.

Thanks to all of the error reports about crashing at midnight, it has
been reproduced reliable upon testing and I hope to have it fixed
toady. 99% of the time, if I can reproduce it, I can fix it.
Thanks

I've been browsing the web, risking my ID on the 'hacker' sites, trying to
find info on a phone interface. Most of the legit sites are 'pay for
service' and then it's just 'the user should press this button' kind of
thing. And the hacker sites are full of the pimply kids constantly posting
"How do I make free phone calls?"... As if someone's going to issue a FAQ
to them as a newbie!
Specifically, I'm trying to find out how certain phones 'communicate'.
For example, Northern Telcom (Meridian) 9516 phones can 'master/slave'
to one another, so you can load a call list from one to another.
Just wondering if anyone knows where to find the specs on this kind
of activity....
Mike

Mike,
I do not know about Nortels phones, by my V-Tech phones look for the MAC
of the base unit. My neighbor has the exact same make/model and we do
not interfere - even when I visit her or she us with handset in tow.
When you initialize the handset, it wants the MAC for the base,
searches, links.

You might want to look at Xastir - it can directly display USGS maps, at
24/25k, 100k, and 250k projections, it tiles adjacent maps as needed, and
corrects for both projection errors (projecting a non-square map onto a
square display, and corrects maps created with the NAD27 datum to plot
correctly with APRS-standard WGS84 data. You can additionally plot vector
maps (WinAPRS, PocketAPRS, Tiger, etc) over the top of the USGS maps to add
street-level detail for the USGS maps that don't show all of the current
roads. It can be run under Windows, though there is definitely a learning
curve. See www.xastir.org and links on those pages for info on what's
needed for running Xastir under Windows. Oh - and all of the software
comprising Xastir and the various components is available online at no
charge, other than whatever you might incur from your internet service
provider.
