Gulf Coastal Software
QSLeCard Gulf Coastal has up loaded a new freeware QSL card creation program at the address below. QSLeCard has many options including the following: 1. Load in a QSL card background of your choice. 2. All data fields on card can be made transparent. 3. Choose to frame card and/or QSO data fields. 4. Choose to archive QSO information. 5. Choice of several fonts, font colors, and font styles. 6. Choice of several data field background colors if not transparent. 7. Output options: Create GIF and JPG files for emailing QSL card attachments; Copy card to clipboard; Print the card. Card data includes - Call sign Name/address 73s Pse QSL Pse LoTW Email address (above field are can be moved around card) Contact data entries include - (contact data can be entered thru buttons or typed directly) Confirming QSO with Date Time (or) current GMT date/time Frequency Mode Power Signal report [Note: Gulf Coastal has an enhanced free version of this program wherein the card should be ably to be sent directly from the QSLeCard program. This would eliminate the additional step of starting an email client and attaching the JPG to the email. Gulf Coastal's internet service provider does not provide pop3/smtp email, so we have no way of testing the program (we have to use html web based email). We need one or more volunteers with smtp email (this is normal email service using an email client) to test this direct send feature and give us feedback as to it's success/ failure. If anyone would be willing to test this enhanced version, please send an email to . We will send the enhanced version back as an email attachment (quite large attachment +/- 1.3 mb).] 73s Gulf Coastal Software (Please send bug reports/suggestions.) http://www.simtel.net/search.php[action]search[authorName]Gulf+Coastal+Software[SiteID]simtel.net (or go to) www.simtel.net and search Gulf Coastal in search box.

went there and can not find it afile name and a drirect lik would be nice Hey Geep, Be careful about this QSLeCard, I downloaded it and found an extra extension. The file is named QSLeCard.zip.exe - I send it to the virus vault. The file size is 355.25 kb. and not 1.3 Mb like the author says. This was at Simtel which sent me to a mirror site. -- **************Separated Reply*************** _ Spammers will be assimilated. Ken |

This is a reply from Gulf Coastal Software
Simtel.net has just started using some kind of new download program that is required to be executed to get software from their site. I have not tested it yet, so I don't know what it does myself. It apparently executes a sub program that subsequently downloads the QSLeCard.zip. Simtel (owned by Digital River) is a reputable site that virus scans all software before placing them out for downloading. You shouldn't have any problems with software/freeware from Simtel.

Maybe not, but any site that requires me to use an executable to download from it is rather worrying in my view. Why should this be necessary..? I have a perfectly good ftp client (which I paid good money for, incidentally), what's wrong with that..? 73 Ivor G6URP |

Excellent work! In just a few minutes of playing with it, I'm
impressed. One of the best freeware programs I've seen in some time. The SIMTEL download site was a little cranky, but I Googled up this download site which was easier to use. http://shareware.pcmag.com/product.p...SiteID%5Dpcmag One quick question ..... what is the proper size of the .BMP background. I could tinker around and find out, but a little info like that in the help file would be nice (unless a overlooked it). Thanks for your work on this. 73, de Hans, K0HB |

Ken- Some zipped files are combined with an un-zip program in order to be self-extracting. You could try using PKUNZIP, but specifying the entire filename including the .exe. If it is a self-extracting Zip, that should unpack it without any danger of infecting your computer. Fred K4DII |

I don't blame anyone for being leary of possible viruses.
