Subject: RE: APRS-NET COncept! -- Radio Mirror

Let me try to clarify . . .
There were two products here, and I may have contributed to the confusion
by changing the name of one of them in mid-stream:
1. RadioMirror was a mechanism for using UI frames to replicate files (or
entire directories) from one computer on other computers by radio. Bill's
done a fabulous job of picking up this project (which I had dropped due to
lack of user interest) and improving it. I can't wait to see what he does
with it.
2. HamWeb was a mechanism for allowing users to request webpages, which
were then either transmitted as text or optionally "clipped" and
transmitted with UI frames. The idea was that the content of web pages
could be sent simultaneously to lots of users. This was described in the
Nov., 1999 issue of QST. I thought that this had a lot of promise in
terms of providing a wide range of information to mobile users. The main
problem was that no infrastructure ever developed to support it. I've
often thought that if the packets were reformatted to be compatible with
APRS data, and thus the information was displayed right on the screen of a
D700, it might have been kind of cool. Your D700 could then do then look
up virtually any kind of information that could be distilled from a web
page. This was never intended to provide access to IE or similar clients,
instead, the information would be processed (clipped) at the server and
transmitted. This resulted in its requiring very little bandwidth, being
practical at low speeds, and overcame some of the other problems mentioned
in previous posts, including what to do about images and commercial
traffic. The HamWeb sysop could make as much or as little of the Internet
available to mobile users as he/she liked, using wildcards to specify the
sites that would be allowed to go out over the air.

Tiger map of Michigan turned dark blue with five counties showing, I tried
to page up and page down to recenter the map and it disappeared off the
screen.
WinAPRS 2.7.2 crashed with the error dialogue box stating:
prevFontHandle != hFont
I clicked on the OK button to clear the error messge and the program locked
up. The fonts on the bottom of the screen enlarged from 10point or whatever
the default is to about 18point showing the last station it heard.
Had to control alt delete to reboot and restart

Have you connected your computer running an APRS program to it? Maybe the
program has NOCALL in it and it uploads that to the D7 when you start the
program.
