[aprssig] Dmapper - New for 2005 Version 2.12b11

[DaveN]

One thing I forgot to mention with the last "Dmapper" update was the code I
forgot to stick in Version 2.12b11 to allow LOGIN strings for connection to
APRS servers that require logins.    (sorry Herb)

If you try and connect to a server that requires a login, you won't get
anything but maybe a prompt.  Those servers that just dump the data when you
make the connection will work fine.  You can also connect to your existing
APRS programs acting as a server on the local machine, which CAN be
connected to an internet server at the same time.

I have the code written and will include it in a small EXE update in the
near future.  Sorry I forgot to include it.... I guess to much nog for the
holidays.

Enjoy,

>  Dmapper is a utility program that takes APRS data from a TNC, APRS
Server,
>  or APRS Program and converts it for use in some of the more popular
mapping
>  programs used in Search and Rescue (SAR) operations.
>
>  Anyone serious about integrating APRS with SAR Organizations should
really

>  topographic detail offered by  MapTech's TERRAIN NAVIGATOR and National
>  Geographic TOPO!, I have focused my efforts on developing Dmapper to work

>  ------------------------------------------------
>  This new version 2.12b11 released on January 1, 2005  includes some of
the
>  following newly added features.
>
>  **GENERAL FEATURES Updated**
>
>  NEW FEATURE: Activated TACTICAL NAME text boxes for Info only
designations
>  for each unit.
>
>  NEW FEATURE: WinHelp has been added with a general help file (F1) and
also
>  some context help for certain text boxes. (more to come)
>
>
>  **MAPPING**
>  Improved how Dmapper controls the map program to make it more efficient
and
>  easier to setup.
>
>  Better control over which map "data files" to create via a menu
selection.
>
>  NEW FEATURE: CREATED THE NatGeoTOPO! and STREET ATLAS 5.0 *NOW* FILES.
>  "dmapper*now.*". The *NOW* file selections cause the screen to clear all
>  waypoints and re-post the current position points of each tracked unit
> only.
>  "Tracks" are not shown, only their last position reported.
>
>  New  "dmapperNGTOPOnowCall.txt" file which is the same format of other
> TOPO!
>  files only it includes the CALLSIGN as the label so it can be used in the
>  NOW format.
>
>  NEW FEATURE: Created capture_all_callsigns option. This will cause callid
>  boxes to clear repeatedly so new incoming callsigns will fill them in and
>  post to the map data.  (Currently only building Street Atlas files but
the
>  Dmapper screen displays incoming callsigns as well.)
>
>  **COMMS**
>  The raw data display box will change colors based on source of data.
I.E.:
>  Data from Com port will be BLUE and telnet data PINK.
>
>  Added COM "0" features so com port can be disabled while being used by
> other
>  device such as WinAPRS and UI-VIEW. This allows Dmapper telnet connection
> to
>  back side (telnet server ports) on same computer..
>
>  NEW FEATURE: Added menu item to check for updates under the HELP menu.
>
>  Improved the telnet server configuration, start and stop connection
>  processes.
