HELP FILE TO INSTALL AND USE YO_LOG ver1.en
--------------------------------------------
This help and program is created by Dan Harabagiu ( YO8RBU ).

1.YO_LOG can be find in two version :yolog.fxp and yolog.exe.
Programs are identical but first version need FOX PRO Ver 2.x and second is
EXE file (standalone!).

2.To install program :
-make a new directory : ex:  QSL
-unzip sourse file yologfxe.zip or yologexe.zip in new directory
-if you use YOLOG.FXP type : fox yolog + ENTER 
-if you use YOLOG.EXE type : yolog + ENTER
Note:I suggest do not copy YOLOG.FXP in the FOX PRO directory but your 
AUTOEXEC.BAT file must have the path of FOX PRO.(Ex. path c:\FOXPRO26;)
-in new directory ,after unzip you must have the folowing files:
	-apfx.dbf = alias prefix file
	-dxcc.dbf = dxcc list file
	-dxccw.dbf = structure file
	-qso.dbf = qso detail file
	-yolog.fxp or yolog.exe = program file
	-wri.prg = source file to develop print menu   
	-*.idx = index files need for program
	-help.txt = this file

3.After start program:
In MAIN MENU you are folowing options:

3.1 ADD QSO's = is time to add your QSO's ; first in "General INFO " you
must enter date,band and mode for a lots of QSO's (I think you don't make
evry QSO in diferent band and mode) . To change band use ALT + left or right 
arrow and to change MODE use ALT + up or down arrow . In this menu use the 
fallowing hot keys:
ALT + <- or ALT + ->  = change BAND
ALT + up or down arrow = change MODE
INS = add new QSO
END = modify highlighted QSO
DEL = delete highlighted QSO 
ESC = exit to "GENERAL INFO" ; new ESC exit to MAIN MENU
HOME = if you are enter wrong MODE or BAND change BAND or MODE and press HOME

3.2 REAL TIME QSO's = if you have enough hands :) you can add your QSO's in 
log in the same time then you work on your XCEIVER . Is similar like ADD QSO
but time is automat write in log.

3.3 SCAN LOGBOOK = you can scan your records (QSO's) in folowing ways :
	a.Scan by DATE ; if you don't enter a date you can see records sort 
on date (ascending) ; if you enter a date you are located on first record of 
entered date; if you don't have records on entered date you are located on
nearist date. Use folowing hot keys :
	END = modify QSO
	DEL = delete QSO
	F5 = mark QSL sent
	F6 = mark QSL receive
	F7 = add QSL info (name of operator etc.)

	b.Scan by CALL ; easy way to find somebody to mark QSL sent or receive
	Use hot keys :
	F5 = mark QSL sent
	F6 = mark QSL receive
	F7 = add QSL info (name of operator etc.)
 
	c.Scan on prefix ; helpful if you wont to scan QSO's with a country

	d.Scan QSL not sent and QSL not receive ; helpful if you wont to see
your debit or credit in QSL's

3.4 PRINT LOGBOOK not available in this version .

3.5 STATISTICS
	a.DXCC = display your worked and confirmated country from DXCC list
	. is a worked country and |> is a confirmated country

	b.CQ ZONE = display your worked and confirmated CQ ZONE

	
3.6 TOOLS
	a.Primary prefix = you can add,modify or delete records in DXCC list

	b.Secondary prefix = you can add,modify or delete secondary prefix 
for a primary prefix (ex: YO is primary and YO,YP,YQ,YR are secondary )

Caution : for new primary prefix you must add to secondary the new prefix and
athers if exist (ex:for YO in primary you must add to secondary YO,YP,YQ,YR)

Caution : large country (W,UA,VE etc.) have multiple CQ ZONE . For corect
statistic on CQ ZONE verify this in QSO record (you can modify CQ ZONE ).

Caution : time to time save you records someware (floppy for ex.) ; Is not 
funny to lost your recors after you add over x thousand records !!!
