Startup Instructions for CQPWIN, ver. 6.5,  5/16/99



The zipped file CQPWINDO.EXE contains several files needed for CQPWIN,

ver. 6.5.  This version has the new 1999 scoring for WPX, and covers Sprint as a new contest.  It has other new features, including full support of a SoundBlaster-compatible card as a digital voice keyer, "InstaMatch" callsign verification from prior logs, and a full help system.  It can run under Windows 3.1 or 95.   The files are:

 

 CQPWIN65.EXE -- The Executable program

 CQPWIN65.INI -- Initiation and Setup file

 CQPWIN60.DAT -- Data file

 CQPWIN65.HLP -- Help text file

 README65.TXT -- This file

 VBRUN200.DLL -- Visual Basic Runtime support file

 APIGUIDE.DLL -- ditto

 CMDIALOG.VBX -- ditto

 MCI.VBX      -- ditto

 DEMOCQP.CQP  --Sample log files for the three contests

 DEMOSS.CQP

 DEMOWPX.CQP



   To get started, copy  all of these files to the same directory

(e.g., C:\CQPWIN), except copy  THE .dll AND .vbx support files to the WINDOWS/SYSTEM subdirectory on your hard disk.



  To run the program, create a program group item in Program

Manager.  Have it execute the program CQPWIN65.EXE (e.g., if you

have the files in the C:\CQPWIN directory, then the "Command

Line" in the Program Item Properties box in Program Manager would

read :"C:\cqpwin\cqpwin65.exe").  If you want more flexibility,

you can create a PIF program to run it. Or you can simply select

the program name in Program Manager and use the Run option from

the File Menu to run it.  Or set it up on the Start menu or as an iconized program on the screen in Windows 95.



  Complete instructions on running the program are in the Help

system when the program is run.  You can also read the help file, CQPWIN65.HLP without running the main program by double clicking it to open it under Windows (it is a Windows Help File in standard format).  Good Luck and Enjoy it.



     There is also a DOS version of this program, CQP55, which has the same basic features, minus the DVK, InstaMatch, and a few other bells and whistles.



     These programs, and any upgrades can be downloaded from the Northern California Contest Club (NCCC) web site: "http:/www.cqp.org".
