In addition to the files that the Bros. Sproul have included in the
WinAPRS distribution and the TIGER map files, what other files do you
need in order to have all the features of WinAPRS operate smoothly? I
see all this talk about STATIONS.TXT, STARTUP.TXT, SHUTDOWN.TXT and
APRS.TXT, but I don't see any of them in my WinAPRS folder. What do I
need, especially to port the internet feed to my machine?

I'm running an iMAC; DV. 450Mhz
Now that I've seen a few replies, I guess I should finally say SOMETHING;
Basically, the point I was/am making is this:
Even the new version of Netscape (7.1) only uses about 35MB of RAM, this is
practically 1/3! that of Mac APRS 3.7!
I'd like to use the newer versions, but this is just a BIT too much, when I
can't even open a Browser w/APRS running.
END RUN

Looks like one can't use the HVAC controls (and various other vehicle
controls) whilst the screen is out. No good. That's the problem with all
After Market Junk.

Dude! That thing can take up to 1 gig of PC100 SDRAM (2 slots). Get to a
computer store quick, because older style SDRAM prices are starting to go
up. You should be able to find 256MB sticks for about $35 bucks each, new
with warranty. There's no excuse not to got to 512MB. Heck spend about
$140 and go for the whole Gig!

But someone put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car (or they
reversed the pictures)... :) Maybe it's one of those cars they use to
deliver the mail?

Quite frankly, how much time does one spend accessing the HVAC
controls? Here is South Dakota it's full heat/defrost, full fan in the
winter, and Max AC, full fan in the summer. There are no other useful
settings other than off.
Have you priced a "factory installed" in-dash nav/entertainment
suite? I'd rather have the aftermarket junk and the extra $5000 in my
pocket. 5 grand could buy a second car, airfare for 4 people to just about
any place on the earth (with some change left over), or two Russian
motorcycles with sidecars (one for each foot).

Hi All-
Sorry I won't be there this year to share the Marion's pizza.
I have changed the way some things are parsed in Wxsvr.
1. Output from the Severe Storms Forecast Center (SPC)
a. Area objects such as Watch boxes now carry the SPC number rather
than the time stamp in the name. During the outbreak of last week I
found it hard to keep the tornado objects seperate from the tornado
watches. Short fuse objects carry a time stamp.
b. Mesoscale discussions have an area object parsed with a green
dashed box and an overlay character of "D".
c. I-gate operators should have "SPC*" in their file to gate this to
RF- not many packets.
2. Severe Weather Outlooks from the various offices are now named
"???_OUTLK" where "???" is the office 3 letter code and an overlay of "O".
3. Geomagnetic conditions are now in an object just east of Boulder,
Colorado called "GEOMGNETC" and has the solar flux, running A index and
Boulder K index in the comment field. This is generally updated once an
hour about 37 after. I-gates should have "SEC*" in their gate file.
This has an overlay of "I". Overlays appear to be broken in Winaprs BTW.
4. Tropical Outlooks for the Atlantic,Eastern Pacific, and Central
Pacific will have fixed objects in appropriate spots when Hurricane
season starts.
5. I am just beginning to parse some Canadian Objects. This will
probably use the area objects as a start once we can define the areas.
Roger Barker of ui-view has a working beta using the area objects with a
very good user interface. Xastir has the objects ploted properly and
will hopefully have the same type interface once the current code freeze
is over. If you are going to Dayton, please hound the other
powers-that-be to impliment this in their code. I tried lobbying
during the last two Dayton's without noticable effect.
screen capture of some of these features is at:

Then I promptly changed the icon to the Sun Symbol.

I'm running an I-Gate with UI-Traffic on board. My question is do the
numbers include the internet feed or just what is heard on RF? I'm getting
some very large numbers and I feel like the program is not just counting RF
traffic.
Thanks,

The memory setting on MacAPRS defaults to 95 megs, it can be made
smaller with the normal Mac GET INFO command, MacAPRS does a very
good job of running in a smaller foot print. On the Mac you have to
specify how much memory you want. If you are not running with TIGER
maps, it will run great on 30 megs.
