1.4 Save File As
If you want to change the file name or save the file to any drive and folder you choose, use this command. It can be used
to make a backup of the file or to save it in another format. When you use SAVE FILE AS, you may be asked to
confirm the file format to "save as" Data or Track. Track files have only 3 fields and Route files are like data files, but
have "STRT" in the Rating field of the first route point for each route and the route name in the Group field.
1.5 Save as Old Version
If you want to exchange this file with someone who has an older version of the program, save it with this selection so
that the new to version 8.1 Group field or the 7.0 fields (Name, Icon, and Depth) are removed to make it compatible.
The older program didn't anticipate these fields and will consider the file corrupt if it sees them. You can save as a
version 5.0 to 6.9 file or a version 7.0 to 8.0 file.
1.6 Backup/Restore Files
This selection allows you to make backups of your files or copy all data and/or map files from one drive or folder to
another drive or folder. To use this utility, make sure the source and destination folders are what you want to transfer
between, then select one or more files and push the appropriate transfer button shown by the arrows. You can use the
Shift and Ctrl keys for multiple selections.
If you are handling DOS version data files a check box offering to convert them will appear. If it is checked, the files
will be converted to DBF files (latest style) during the transfer. Backing up to a CD may require that you format the CD
for use as a flash drive first in windows. Alternatively, Windows may copy the files to be backed up to a temporary
folder and then require you to burn them to the disk with an additional command. Since a CD can hold all the contents
of the LoranGPS folder, you might want to just copy the whole folder to the CD using a Windows tool. Backing up to a
flash drive is straightforward.
