<h3>flics - quick guide</h3>
|
|
flics is a simple forms management editor for the ICS-213 emergency
|
|
management report. It's data files are pure ASCII text that can
|
|
be sent from point to point using the internet, amateur radio, or other
|
|
electronic link. The data files are designed to minimize the
|
|
transfer size. This is particularly important on amateur
|
|
HF. The data file and the transfer file are one in the same, but
|
|
can be further encapsulated using either flarq or wrap for the purpose
|
|
of confirming the received file integrity.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The user prepares, answers and views all ICS-213 data files from the single user interface dialog:<br>

Open - open an existing file - flics data files have the extension ".f2s", read as "form 2 send"<br>
|
|
Save - save the current file to the name in the "file:" display box<br>
|
|
Save As - save using a new filename that the user provides<br>
|
|
Write - write the data to an ICS-213 pretty print form using Rich Text Edit format strings (file extension ".rtf")<br>

Create a wrapped ICS datafile and save in the NBEMS.files/WRAP/auto (~/.nbems/WRAP/auto/ on Linux)

directory. If running, fldigi will find and automatically
|
|
transmit the file.<br>

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">Load - load an existing template file - flics template files have the extension ".f2t", read as "form 2 template"<br>

Config:<br>

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">Use compression - compress and base64
|
|
encode all data transmitted; smaller transfer size for very large
|
|
content, not human readable. Might result in a larger transfer file for small amount of content.<br>
|
|
Use UTC - convert computer time to UTC for date/time stamp in ICS213 files<br>

</div>

<br>
|
|
Note: data files and template files are identical. The only
|
|
difference is their location in the computer directory structure and
|
|
their extension. Message files and template files maintain their
|
|
uniqueness by virture of their file name. If you reuse a filename
|
|
the old data will be lost.<br>

File locations:<br>

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">On XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\NBEMS.files<br>

On Vista: C:\Users\<username>NBEMS.files<br>
|
|
On Linux: /home/<username>/NBEMS.files<br>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Data files are located in the sub directory "ICS/messages"<br>
|
|
Template files are located in the sub directory "ICS/templates"<br>
|
|
Pretty print files (.rtf) are located in the "ICS/" subdirectory.<br>
|

<br>
|
|
Here is an example of a template that has been loaded for processing
|
|
and subsequent save as a message file. If you load a template
|
|
file, modify it for transmission and save it using the "File/Save" menu
|
|
item it will default you to the "Save As" menu item. You should
|
|
rename the file to something symbolic to its current usage.<br>

============================= file contents ============================<br>
|
|
<h3>Qform data file<br>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Flics can read and write Qform ICS213 data files. The Qform data
|
|
file is larger by virtue of the xml structure. The file size
|
|
ratio is less when the content is larger.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h3>Rich Text Format<br>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
The Rich Text Format file that the File/Write menu item produces can be
|
|
opened with Microsoft Word, WordPad, Open Office, or any other word
|
|
processing software that can read and write RTF files. Use that
|
|
software for printing the report. It might be necessary to adjust
|
|
the page margins for some RTF reader/printer applications.<br>
