Hi Roger,
I'm pleased to be able to report that the bug fix appears to be
working fine, on my set-up at least, bitmaps now open perfectly, with all
stations in the right position on the map.
Now come the questions, I'm having some problems with gif files that I
have created myself (the ones included with the software open ok). The
problem is this, stations on the map move on the screen to reflect the
positions they would be in on the different scale map, but the map itself
isn't actually replaced. Do any gifs that I create have to be the same size
as the ones you included? If so can anyone tell me how to create an
appropriately sized image without stretching along the vertical axis to fit
in an art package. I'm using Autoroute 95 to create the maps and microsoft
photo editor, paint or windows imaging to manipulate the images.

I've just uploaded the V0.75b update to my web site. Please note that
this is only an update, not a complete installation system. The update
can be applied to V0.6b or later and includes all the changes made since
that version, you don't need to apply the previous updates before
applying this one. The url is:-
Please don't publicise the link outside this mailing list. Also, because
the main feature of this update is an attempted bug fix, it's probably a
good idea not to pass it on to too many people until a day or two has
elapsed, to allow subscribers to the list to let me know if the fix has
worked.
I've released this update very soon after V0.74b because of the problems
that were reported with loading some maps. I have found a problem with
loading BMP format maps, but I have not found a problem with loading
correctly calibrated GIFs - for instance the ones that I supplied with
the program.
The problem I found was that the map window was not resized when loading
a BMP, the most obvious way to demonstrate it was to close UI-View with
a BMP loaded. When the program was restarted, the only part of the map
visible would be a small square in the top left corner of the map
window. If a BMP was loaded after a GIF map that filled the window, then
the problem would be less obvious, but the calibration would be wrong
unless the BMP was exactly the same size as the GIF.
If anyone still gets a problem with this version, using the maps I
supplied, then there is something I am missing, and I would need the
following information:-
Details of exactly what goes wrong
Version of Windows
Make and type of video card
Resolution being used
Whether "large fonts" are being used
If you get a problem with your own BMPs, please convert one of the maps
that I supplied to a BMP, and see if it also gives a problem.
Here is the relevant section of HISTORY.TXT:-
V0.75b 1999-Apr-19 1. A bug fixed in displaying BMP maps that was
introduced in V0.74b.
2. Had another go at the KAM frame header problem.
3. Slightly altered the auto close down logic when
WINPDDE mode is being use, and WinPack is closed
while UI-View is still running.
4. Support added for GPS $GPRMC sentence.
5. Support added for location data transmitted by
microphone encoder devices. (A microphone encoder
sits between the mic and the rig, and allows
position data to be sent on release of the PTT.)
The Kenwood TH-D7E also transmits this data
format.
