[aprssig] Future Concept for APRS

[Chris Moulding]

I'm programming in Visual Basic 6.

The program sets the serial TNC into converse mode, messages are 
assembled from whatever is typed into a textbox so this would depend 
upon the language settings of the PC.

The program doesn't connect directly with the APRS-IS but I can send 
messages to the local igate MB7UBN.

73s,

Chris, G4HYG
