EURO-TX 2.1 Software
====================
 
GENERAL:
- EURO-TX is THE ShortWave Broadcast Transmissions to EUROPE database for 
Radio Listening Amateurs.  The EURO-TX programme contains information on 
shortwave broadcasts to EUROPE in various languages (Danish, Dutch, English, 
Esperanto, Finnish, French, German, Greek,Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, 
Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish).  With the programme you can make 
complete sorted listings in country, language, station and/or 
transmission-time order; just choose the appropriate settings and the 
programme will display the list in any way you want. An 'On The Air' button 
will display all stations which are on the air at the moment you press the 
button.
A comprehensive search option is available to search for whatever you like; a 
station, country, frequency or transmission time.  Furthermore it is also 
possible to display an ITU country list (237 records), a stations address 
list, a stations Internet address list, HF-bands list, UTC time table (237 
records) and a DX-programme list.  At the moment the database contains 
transmission details of 129 stations in 75 countries. The address lists 
contain 99 Internet addresses and 216 'normal' addresses. Finally, 
transmission times/days of 34 different DX-programmes are available.  The 
Main Database Table has almost 1200 records (variable, due to daily updates) 
in which Country, Station,Transmission Time, Language, Frequencies and 
Remarks are listed.  All data can be displayed on screen as well as on a 
printer.  It is NOT possible to change any of the data in the database but 
you will receive the LATEST available database-file (updated on a DAILY bases 
with information from many well-known sources, of which much info comes 
directly from the stations themselfes), with the registered version of the 
software. The programme and the latest database are put on floppy when you 
order the programme, so you will always receive the latest data.
 
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
Computer:             IBM-compatible AT(tm) 386, 486 or Pentium Diskdrive:    
        Programme is distributed on a 1.44 MB floppy.
                      Harddisk space for installation is about 2.5 MB. Memory 
(extended):    4 MB or more ...
Operating system:     Windows 3.1/3.11 or Windows '95 (+ mouse). Monitor:     
         (S)VGA (640*480 or better ...).
Recommended hardware: 486 or Pentium, 4 MB (or more) Extended Memory.
 
NOTES:
 The programme was tested on a 386 40MHz, a 486DX2 66MHz and a Pentium 75MHz 
computer and a colour (S)VGA monitor in various resolutions. It might also 
work using other screens (as yet, has not been tested).
 Printing the data was tested on DeskJet and LaserJet printers which gave no 
problems; it was also tested on a standard matrix printer with no problems, 
though printing was very, very slow .... The programme can be used to print 
data but it should be used primarily to display the data directly to the 
screen and not to a printer.
 The programme is NOT SOLD/DISTRIBUTED in the months of MARCH and OCTOBER, 
due to the many changes which will be implemented by many radio stations at 
the end of these months. These months are used to completely update all data 
in the database. Other changes will be implemented on a DAILY bases.
