Here is a new and very much improved version of the java pskmail
client!
This client has been tested under linux and windows using java 1.6.
The client is not so limited any more, almost all the functions are
really in there. But, just to keep me and Rein busy for a while longer
there are a few things missing:
* Compressed transfer of email
* reception of AIC Fleet codes (pskmail FEC format)
* File upload
However, all the rest is in there:
APRS functions
Send APRS Posit
Send APRS message
Send APRS email
Send ping
Send Link packet to server
Receive APRS message
Receive short email on APRS
Set APRS Icon
Set Beacon Period (10, 30, 60)
Set APRS status message
GPS connection (RS232 and USB)
Show position, course and speed
Bulletin receive
Receive weather (or other) bulletins automatically and store
them.
ARQ (Connected mode) functions
Upload of user email settings to a server
Create new emails and send them
List, read and delete emails at your regular email account
List, read and delete emails locally at the server
List file area on the server
Download files from the server to the client
Read files on the client
Update files on the client (download)
Get info from the web
Fetch any web page (text only)
Fetch information from the web:
Nearest Tide Reference Harbors (based on GPS position)
Tidal information for your reference harbor
List of APRS stations near you
List of APRS messages to you (from findu.com)

The archive contains a quick start guide/brief manual describing how
to
operate the client.

Installation in windows XP:
* install fldigi 3.10, get it running (http://www.w1hkj.com)
* unzip the pskmail_0_3.zip archive, enter the new directory, double
click the program icon (javapskmail.jar).
* done.
In conclusion I'd like to say thanks to Rein Couperus for the great
cooperation we have had on this. Its been hard work but lots of fun
too.
Hope you'll have as fun using it as we had building!
Beta testers are encouraged to report their impressions and
suggestions
so that we can continue to improve the client.
