Key sticking
Kelly, you are probably right about not needing Buckmaster's permission to
use the Questar index for the search engine. But I do like to check first,
and I've received permission so it's a mute point. I'm not sure how much
value it would be for a ham to search all Ham's in Walla Walla, or all
Ham's with an expiration year of 2000, etc. Right now it searches only for
callsigns and will find a call in less than 7 seconds, based on a binary
search. You also have the option of printing labels. The first version was
done in Basic, compiled, and is ready. The second one is in C and it's not
8^) The version that just searches for Callsigns will be FreeWare. If I do
decide to figure out the Questar index and create a full search engine, it
will probably be Shareware. Its going to take a lot of time to figure out
the Questar index and how it's formatted. As yet, the Buckmaster CD is for
US Ham's only. They have indicated a International version of the
Buckmaster CD is being considered, but as yet has not made a firm
commitment.
