[amsat-bb] Fox Telem program

[Chris Thompson]

Hi all.  FoxTelem reads the available spacecraft at startup.  You can
change it by adding or removing the spacecraft files.  There are two
directories to consider:

1) The logfiles folder contains a "spacecraft" folder.  Inside there are
one or more files ending in ".dat".  For each file present FoxTelem loads a
spacecraft.

2) The installation folder (where you store the FoxTelem.exe or
FoxTelem.jar files) also contains a "spacecraft" folder.  This contains all
the static data for the spacecraft, such as layouts and lookup tables.
There are a set of files that end in ".MASTER".  If you copy one of the
files ending in .MASTER to the logfile/spacecraft folder and change the
extension to ".dat" then it will be added to FoxTelem.

I'm not sure why I made it so complicated, but there is a simpler trick.
If you delete all the ".dat" files from the logfiles/spacecraft folder then
at startup FoxTelem will again prompt to install spacecraft and you can
pick any that you want.  It won't delete any of your existing collected
data.

By the way, you can also delete ".dat" files from the logfiles/spacecraft
folder if you no longer want them, or if like me you run 3 copies of
FoxTelem and only want one spacecraft in each.  It does not delete your
saved telemetry data but it does delete any custom changes you made to the
spacecraft, such as narrowing the frequency range.

At some point I'll add a menu option to add or remove spacecaft so we can
add in Fox-1E, HuskySat or any others..
