INSTALLATION AND START-UP OF MULTIPSK AND CLOCK

To install the programs on your hard disk,from the WINDOWS Explorer:

  1) Unzip the MULTIPSK.ZIP file to a temporary directory, for example
    "C:\TEMP".

  ATTENTION: don't unzip MULTIPSK.ZIP from the desktop. If you do this, you will have
  a lot of files on it (the desktop is a sort of directory)!

  2) From the temporary directory, not from MULTIPSK.ZIP, start the 
    INSTAL file:

    2.1) if you are installing the program for the first time, choose,
      for example, "C:\MULTIPSK". If you are updating any previous version,
      use the actual directory name,

    2.2) double-click on "Automatic installation or updating"
    Note: your configuration files will not be modified, because  
    they will be automatically created, only in case of absence. 

IMPORTANT: as there is no change in the Windows registers base 
(and so no problem of uninstallation), the application files
can be installed manually (with Windows Explorer) in any directory.

Once the "Multipsk" group installed in the "Start" menu,  MULTIPSK will 
start automatically. 
The configuration screen opens first. 
You must click the RX/TX button to access the main screen.

It is more practical to start the program rather than with Explorer or with the 
Windows "Start" menu: you can create a shortcut on the desktop for MULTIPSK and 
another one for CLOCK.

To create a shorcut on the desktop, for "MULTIPSK": 
  * with Explorer, go to the directory where MULTIPSK has been installed, 
  * left click on the file name ("MULTIPSK"),
  * right click and then left click on "Create a shortcut",
  * fetch the shortcut "MULTIPSK" (icone with a little arrow) 
    and place it on the desktop.

The help file can be started from MULTIPSK, or by double-clicking on
"HELP_PSK.CHM". For help on CLOCK, click "HELP_CLO.CHM".

Hints and contextual help:
  * many buttons have a hint which is obtained by remaining a fraction of second 
    with the mouse pointed on the button,
  * a contextual help (i.e. depending on the selected mode) is obtained by clicking
    with the right button of the mouse, the cursor of this one being located over 
    a mode button ("BPSK31", for example).

Multipsk is conceived for a Windows system: from the 95 version to Vista.

Note for the LINUX users (under WINE):  
  The DLLs are not recognized under Linux. Multipsk uses very few DLLs, and only for very auxiliary functions which are: 
    * the HB9TLK interface for SdR  receivers,
    * calculation of CPU load (button "CPU"),
    * option "DirectSound" for the pseudo-modes "Filters" and "Binaural".

QUICK PRESENTATION OF THE SOFTWARES
This software will run on a fast computer (PC at 166 MHz or more), under 
Windows, with a sound card (input) connected to the receiver output and
the sound card output to the transmitter input.

MULTIPSK codes (when transmitting) and decodes (when receiving) a number
of amateur radio digital modes, such as Morse, RTTY, SSTV, HF Fax, MFSK16,
BPSK31, Hellschreiber, Packet, Domino, Olivia etc.

CLOCK extracts date and time from FRANCE_INTER, DCF77, HBG and RUGBY, WWVB,
WWV-WWVH and from a GPS. It can synchronize your computer clock, if you have
the registred version.

Click on "Functions of the software, schematic of the connections and 
typical set-up" in HELP_PSK and HELP_CLO for more details.

UNINSTALLATION OF THE MULTIPSK AND CLOCK APPLICATIONS
As there is no change in the Windows registers base, these applications
can be uninstalled manually (with Windows Explorer) by deleting the folder 
containing the Multipsk and Clock files.

POSSIBLE (AND RARE) PROBLEM OF THE CHM FILES (HELP FILES) 
It is possible that when you click on a subject in the index, it is said that
the program cannot display the webpage.
One solution is to change "CHM" file type in 揻ile properties
