N7SFI WinGrid program. Version 0.06  Jan. 11, 1999

For limited help send E-Mail to kohlwey@xmission.com

The beta copy of the Win32 MFC program that I use to create the
grid square maps is now available. I run it under Windows 95 and
Windows NT Version 4.0.

Some notes on what you will find in the wingrid.zip file.

The map is a vector map. You can zoom in and out in the program.

wingrid.exe     is the windows program.

usa_map.dat     is the USA only map outline data file. This map file will be
                   used if the WinGridMap.dat file is not found.

wingrid.txt     is an example input file that is described below.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

For detailed map of all of North America you can download the wingridmap.dat
file.  This file is over 3 Meg and will!! slow down the loading and redisplay
of the WinGrid program.  To use it put it in the same directory the wingrid.exe
it in.

WinGridMap.dat  is a detailed map of North America

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "view" pull down menu has the following "Checkable" options.

QSO From        Toggles the display of the red dots or square for the
                   6 character grid squares worked from

QSO To          Toggles the display of the red dots or square for the
                   6 character grid squares worked.

Grid            Toggles the display of the grid square lines.

Labels          Toggles the display of the grid square labels.

Lower 48        Toggles the display the lower 48 states grid squares.

RVUCC only      Toggles the display of the "Reverse VUCC" grid squares.
		These are the grids I have worked from.

VUCC only       Toggles the display of the VUCC grid squares.

N. America      Set QSO From, QSO to, Grid, Labeles, Lower 48 off
                   and VUCC on.  The map displays from AG39 to HQ60
                   Control W will also exeute this option.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The program uses lines that start with:

gH followed by a space and then the 6 character home grid square.

gF followed by a space and then the 6 character grid square that I have worked
	from.

gT followed by a space and then the 6 character grid square that I have worked.

GF followed by a space and then the 4 character grid square I have worked from.
	If it is followed by an "*" it is not confirmed yet.

GS followed by a space and then the 4 character grid square I have worked.
	If it is followed by an "*" it is not confirmed yet.

GU followed by a space and then the 4 character USA 48 States grid square.
	If it is followed by an "!" I have worked from that grid square.
	If it is followed by an "*" it is not confirmed yet.


So in the following file I have worked from CM89xs and CM94hq,
	I have confirmed a QSO from CM87 and DL80,
	I have worked CM88 and CM89.

	When I get a card for CM89 the

GU CM89!*

	will be changed to

GU CM89
