[Elecraft] K2OOL now ready for Beta Testing - longish posting

[Tony Wells]

Hi K2OOL Beta Testers!

K2OOL is now ready !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where Is It?
------------
It can be found at http://www.t-wells.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/k2ool.zip

Documentation?
----------------
All documentation, including documentation for beta testing will be in the
zip file. You will need to unzip the contents to a temp directory and run
install from there. You can discard the temp directory after a sucessful
installation, because all documentation can be reviewed from the K2OOL help
menu.

Testing Period?
---------------
I propose giving you all one clear week to fiddle and experiement. I'll
close the case file on 21 March and fix any problems that you've
encountered. Depending on the extent of issues found, I'll aim to issue the
production release  to the general community around the end of March.

If there are any "show stoppers" that prevent you from getting started on
using the software, please send me a report form as quickly as possible (see
note below on reporting errors).

Am I  Beta Tester?
-------------------
If you responded a few weeks ago for my request for volunteers then you are
a beta tester! However only those that return completed report forms will
get their names in the Help About credits.

How Do I Report Errors?
--------------------------
Please do not just send me an email with problems and queries. Please use
the beta test report form. If you want your name in the credits, even if you
have no queries or problems, send the form anyway, because it makes it
easier to cut and paste your details into the credits - see below.

If you experience a range of different types of problems, please use a
seperate form for each type of problem - it makes it easier to creates the
fix list.

How Do I Get In the Credits?
------------------------------
All testers that send me one or more report forms get their name in the
"Help About" credits - unless specifically requested otherwise. There are
three names in the credits already!

Can I just play with the software?
----------------------------------
If just want to try it out, please feel free to download and try. However,
please read all the caveats in the documentation. I cannot be responsible
for breaking your PC or your K2!

Gook Luck!
