[amsat-bb] SatPC32: New Sat Groups into WinAOS

[Erich Eichmann]

Ken,
the SatPC32 data folder contains also ISSFiles.SQF, WisFiles.SQF and  
AosFiles.SQF (the path to that folder is shown in the foot line of menu 
'Satellites').

The programs SatPC32, SatPC32ISS, Wisat32 and WinAOS do not share the  
group files. Each of the programs uses it's own group files (WinAOS - 
for example - can be used stand allone).

As Alan wrote already the lists of group files for the 4 programs are 
hold in SatFiles.SQF, ISSfiles.SQF, WisFiles.SQF and AosFiles.SQF
The extensions of the group files are
.Sat  for SatPC32
.ISS for SatPC32ISS
.Wis for Wisat32
.Aos for WinAOS.
I have mentioned that in the manual (sect. F I 7) and in the aux. file 
SatFiles.SQF itself (all aux. files that can be opened from SatPC32 menu 
"?" contains instructions at its end about how to be used).

The group files can be opened and edited from the menus 'Satellites' of 
their  corresponding programs (in WinAOS: menu 'Lists'). You can 
add/remove satelites and select the source file. With the main programs 
SaPC32 and SatPC32ISS you can also add/remove groups. For WinAOS and 
Wisat32 that must be done manually by editing AosFiles.SQF or 
WisFiles.SQF (using editor Notepad, ALL SatPC32 aux. files are text 
files).  Renaming group files must also be done using Notepad.

If you want WinAOS to use the same sats that you have chosen for a group 
in SatPC32, say Standard.Sat, you have either to edit Standard.AOS or 
you make a copy of Standard.Sat and rename the copy Standard.Aos.

73s, Erich, DK1TB
