[GreenKeys] Auto-Pix going away...

[Doug Nelson]

There appears to be no interest in Auto-pix, the automated RTTY picture 
system as no one has accessed it the past two weekends, with the 
exception of a local friend. There seems little point in running my 
equipment and using power if there is no interest. Guess it is difficult 
to step back into the past. Anyway, I have published the full Command 
List below to save users download time. If there still is no interest 
this weekend,  Auto-Pix will go away.

Saturday and Sunday 9am - 6pm PDT on 14.092

WRITES
            A SHORT MESSAGE TO DISK.  THIS SYSTEM IS -NOT- A MAILBOX, I 
WILL
            BE THE ONLY ONE READING YOUR MESSAGE.  USE THIS COMMAND IF YOU
            NEED TO CONTACT ME AND I'M NOT AROUND AT THE TIME.
            IMPORTANT: DO -NOT- DROP YOUR CARRIER AFTER THE //WRITE PORTION
            OF THE COMMAND.  THE PROGRAM KNOWS WHEN YOU ENTERED //WRITE AND
            JUMPS TO A ROUTINE THAT BEGINS FILLING THE WRITE BUFFER WITH
            YOUR MESSAGE.  AFTER SENDING THE MESSAGE YOU -MUST- GIVE THE
            //END  COMMAND, THE PROGRAM THEN KNOWS YOU'RE FINISHED AND
            SAVES THE BUFFER TO DISK UNDER YOUR CALL SIGN.  DON'T WORRY IF
            YOU NEED TO WRITE SEVERAL MESSAGES - EACH WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT
            FILENAME EXTENSION.  (A-Z)
            THE FORM: (2CR/LF'S)//WRITE(CR/LF)YOUR MESSAGE//END(CR/LF)
 
           //EXIT - LOGS YOU OFF SYSTEM AND RETURNS TO SEARCH (CALL-UP) MODE
 
 
           IMPORTANT NOTE:  AFTER A //READ? OR //LOAD? COMMAND -  THAT  
FILE
                      REMAINS  IN THE XMIT BUFFER AND IS READY TO  SEND  
ANY
                      FILLS  THAT  ARE REQUIRED - IT REMAINS IN  THE  
BUFFER
                      UNTIL ANOTHER FILE IS LOADED, RUN THE //DIR OR  
//SIZE
                      COMMAND OR YOU LOG OFF THE SYSTEM.
 
           ANOTHER NOTE:   THERE IS A 4 MINUTE TIME-OUT ON THIS SYSTEM.  
YOU
                      WILL  BE LOGGED OFF, IF THE SYSTEM DOESN'T  
RECEIVE  A
                      COMMAND WITHIN THAT TIME.
 
           MOST IMPORTANT: HAVE FUN!!!!!!
