-
-<P>Ensure that your CVS session or your unZIPped file have left you
-with a directory "C:\spider\local"; if not, go to "C:\spider\"
-and create one. If "C:\spider" is missing, go back and figure out
-why, because it shouldn't be.
-<P>Now create your own local copy of the DXVars.pm file by:-
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-copy c:\spider\perl\DXVars.pm.issue
-c:\spider\local\DXVars.pm
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>Now you'll need to edit this file using a text editor. If nothing
-else, you can simply
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-cd \spider\local
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>and then
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-notepad DXVars.pm
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>to bring up an editor window containing the file. As an absolute
-minimum you must adjust the following items in DXVars.pm:-
-<P>
-<UL>
-<LI> $mycall - Should hold the callsign of your DX Cluster</LI>
-<LI> $myname - The SysOp's first name</LI>
-<LI> $myalias - the SysOp's callsign. Cannot be the same as $mycall!</LI>
-</UL>
-<P>You really also ought to update the $mylatitude, $mylongitude,
-$myqth and $myemail variables. And unless you are absolutely
-certain you know what you're doing, you should change nothing
-else in this file.
-<P>
-<H2><A NAME="ss2.1">2.1 The AGW packet engine</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>On the assumption that you'll be using the SV2AGW Packet Engine
-to interface your radios to the cluster, you should now create
-your own local copy of AGWConnect.pm by:-
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-copy c:\spider\perl\AGWConnect.pm
-c:\spider\local\AGWConnect.pm
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>and then
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-notepad AGWConnect.pm
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>to bring up an editor window containing the file. You must
-consider adjusting the following items in AGWConnect.pm:-
-<P>
-<UL>
-<LI>$enable - set to '1' to enable AGWPE interface </LI>
-<LI>$login - the login ID you chose when you set up the SV2AGW security :-)</LI>
-<LI>$passwd - password that matches $login</LI>
-</UL>
-<P>
-<H2><A NAME="ss2.2">2.2 Setting up the initial user files</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>Next you need to create the initial user files, etc. A tool is
-supplied which will do this for you. To run the tool:-
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-cd \spider\perl
-perl create_sysop.pl
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>If all goes according to plan, you will see no output from this
-program, and after a brief wait, your DOS prompt will be
-returned.
-<P>Depending on how brave you are, you might now care to try the
-following:-
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-perl cluster.pl
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>If you did everything you were told, your DOS window will now
-hold a display which looks something like:-

-<P>Now, if that's what you've got, you are very nearly home and dry
-(in as far as these particular experiments are concerned, anyhow)
-<P>To access your new cluster (from the local machine) find yourself another
-"DOS box" and do the following:-
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-cd \spider\perl
-perl winclient.pl
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>If you are rewarded with a display which looks something like:-

-Hello Iain, this is GB7SJP in Amersham, Bucks running DXSpider V1.47
-Cluster: 1 nodes, 1 local / 1 total users Max users 2 Uptime 0 00:00
-M0ADI de GB7SJP 4-Mar-2001 1511Z >
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>You've arrived. Try some commands, and see how they feel. (In
-case you were wondering, "Iain", "M0ADI" and "GB7SJP" all came
-from the version of DXVars.pm that was on the machine when I
-started the winclient.pl)
-<P>
-<H2><A NAME="ss2.3">2.3 Incoming telnets</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>If you want to enable inbound "TELNET" connections, you've got a
-little more work to do. From a handy "DOS box" that's not doing
-anything else, do the following:-
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-copy \spider\perl\listeners.pm \spider\local
-cd \spider\local
-notepad listeners.pm
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>The following lines need attention:-
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-["0.0.0.0", 7300],
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>On my machine, I've simply uncommented the "0.0.0.0" entry by
-removing the '#' from the front of the line.
-<P>If you don't have a static hostname for your machine, and you
-intend to allow folk to connect to your machine across the
-internet, then I'd suggest you pay a visit to www.dyndns.org and
-create one for yourself. While it's free, it will take a modest
-an amount of effort on your part to read, understand and
-implement what needs to be done to set this up.
-<P>
-<H2><A NAME="ss2.4">2.4 Connecting to other clusters</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>If you want to connect this to another cluster, then you'll want
-to negotiate a link with someone. For experimental purposes, I'm
-happy to allow folk to connect to GB7DXA (spud.ath.cx), on the
-understanding that the system may or may not be there and may or
-may not be connected to anything particularly useful at any given
-moment. Contact me by Email if you want me to set up a connection
-for you.
