17th October 2011 Version 5.2.1.3

WARNING!!!! If you use VISTA or WIN7, the first time you run this version, your registry configuration for all BPQ32 programs will be moved from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
This is necessary as I've found that Vista/WIN7 stores HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in an obscure place unless you are running as administrator. This messes up the Registry Save/Restore process.

Add caching of CMS Server IP addresses. This enables CMS Telnet to function during a DNS outage.

Rigcontrol has been rewritten, with new options, such as setting Winmor/Pactor session bandwidth, ICOM Repeater Shift and Data Mode and Antenna Switching. Configuration is now in the driver config, and there is no separate RigControl window - the info appears in the Pactor/Winmor windows. See the RigControl documentation for details

Most drivers previously provided as .dll files are now built in to bpq32.dll. However, you still configure them the same - TYPE=EXTERNAL DLLNAME=xxxxx.dll.

Extend INFOMSG to 2000 bytes
Improve Scan freq change lock (check both SCS and WINMOR Ports)
Add option to reread IP Gateway config.
Fix extra entries being left in window list after reinitialisation.
If you are using WINMOR, you can now get bpq32 to start the TNC, and close it when BPQ32 exits. See the WINMOR documentation for details.

The WINMOR and Pactor drivers now include most configuration commands, Only site-specific customisation is needed in the config files. See the documentation for each driver for details.

You can now included all driver configuration information in bpq32.cfg. Just before the ENDPORT add CONFIG, then the config statements from your driver.cfg file, eg:

PORT
ID=AXIP Link
TYPE=EXTERNAL
DLLNAME=BPQAXIP.DLL
QUALITY=200
MAXFRAME=4
FRACK=5000
RESPTIME=1000
RETRIES=10
PACLEN=236
MINQUAL=150
UNPROTO=FBB ; DEFAULT UNPROTO ADDR
BCALL=GM8BPQ ; Call for Beacons

CONFIG

BROADCAST NODES
MHEARD ON

UDP 10093 ;Listens for UDP packets on this port number

AUTOADDMAP
MAP GM8BPQ 192.168.0.101 UDP 10093 B
MAP DUMMY bpqchatmon.ham-radio-op.net UDP 10090 B

ENDPORT

You can still have separate config files, but I recommend converting to the new format.
The configuration for the WINMOR and Pactor drivers is a bit different when the config in bpq32.cfg - see the documentation for each driver for details.
