As a packet user (and Ui-View) I am very pleased to see that you have taken
the "lead" in introducing lat/long to your BBs beacons. I sometimes operate
packet away from my home BBS (Club talks-Thinking Day-Jota-or "away" on
business") and it would be very nice if we could encourage more sysops to
follow your example, since it would enable me to determine which BBS/Nodes
can be heard from my temporary location.

Hi All,
No problem here running the proggy. Apologies if anything has been
mentioned
before, I take the 5th amendment as a new subscriber !
South Yorks Packet User Group, Nodes and BBS's are now sending beacons in
Lat/Lon format, and we request further development of the
program....Please
Roger !
We are all using BPQ..Kiss software on various machines and we are hoping
it
could become a usefull development tool i.e. if you know where the users
are, you can plan !
I appreciate the progam may be in its early development stages, and
therefore needs some tinkering, but the group fully supports Roger's
latest
enterprise.
Thought's for the moment:
1. Can we have the station list in time order or a choice ?
2. On Win 3.11 the Window does not display 2 lines... I know, but the
other
machine has just gone down, and it is the old font problem :-)
3. A standardised digi sytem... I know that others are trying over
Packet..perhaps the Users will win...but Roger knows the limitations !
4. The maps are good, and I expect that is all we can expect, as a
continuos
zoom is not possible without the CD being in the drive, without making
them
toooo large. (?)
5. Educate the User's who are frightened in case you or I give them a
visit...most don't even know where they are! :-)
If this has all been said before, then my apologies, but perhaps it needs
to
be said.
Well Done Roger...keep it coming...we like it !
