WISP

A special driver has been developed for WISP to permit WISP to work directly 
with the Kansas City Tracker/Tuner (KCT) without requiring the KCT TSR to 
be loaded.  This driver will also be radio specific for the Kansas City 
Tuner functions.  The driver is on this diskette.  It is compressed and 
must be decompressed with PKUNZIP.  However it is advisable to decompress 
it in a seperate directory and read the installation instructions after you 
have installed the WISP files.  This will avoid getting the driver files 
mixed in with the WISP files.  When you install this driver, you must not 
have the regular KCT TSR programs loaded, or they will fight each other for 
control of the rotors. 

READ THE GETSTART.TXT FILE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLING THE WISP PROGRAM.

WISP documentation is contained in Help messages.  In most windows, clicking
on the "?" button will provide WISP context sensitive help screens.  A
WISP.HLP file has been copied as a readable text file in WISPHELP.TXT for
those of you desiring to print it out.  This file may not be completely
up to date with the latest WISP.HLP file.

Future updates to WISP will be made available via satellite.  You can 
download them using this version of WISP.  The files are generally addressed
to WISP from G7UPN/ZL2TPO on satellite KO-25 or KO-23.  The WISP files will 
be available on the DRIG BBS, 214-394-7438, in Dallas,TX.  They are also 
available on the Internet at the AMSAT anonymous ftp site.  The Internet 
ftp site address is ftp.amsat.org or you can use the IP address,
192.35.156.5.  The ZIP file will be named WISPyynn.ZIP where yy will be the
year number and nn will be the issue number in that year.  They will be found in the
/amsat/software/windows/wisp directory.  They are also available from the
AMSAT Internet Web site, http://www.amsat.org.

WINDOWS NOTE:  Don't forget to setup your Windows serial port parameters.
You can do this by selecting the Control Panel from the Main window.  From
there you can select Ports to gain access to setting the communications
parameters.  Select your port speed (usually 9600 or 19200 bps) and set 
the other parameters to 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit and Hardware 
flow control.  Also don't forget to set up your Windows Virtual Memory.
Click on Main, Control Panel and 386 Enhanced to get there.


REGISTRATION -

WiSP is a fully functional program.  It will, however, prompt you to register
the program with AMSAT for a nominal contribution.  These contributions
support the construction and launching of the Radio Amateur Satellites that
WiSP is designed to use.  At the present time all contributions are applied
to the support of the Phase 3D satellite.  You do not have to register to
make use of the program, but each message the user sends from an unregistered
copy will have a notification in the message header that the user is using
an unregistered copy.  Other users will be able to see this notification.
