Download and Install AGWPE
- The AGWPE web site is
http://www.sv2agw.com/ham/agwpe.htm
- You can download the AGWPE program
from the AGW Programs page on this
site. It has download links to get the file from SV2AGW's website or
directly from this website.
The AGWPE setup file comes in "zip" format. If you need an unzip program,
visit
the WinZip site for the latest copy of WinZip.
Note:
To remove a prior version of
AGWPE from your
system, simply delete the files in the AGWPE folder or, even
simper, delete the folder. You can not use the Windows' "Add
or Remove Programs"
routine in the Control Panel, since AGWPE is not "installed"
in Windows like most other programs.
Another option is to rename the older version's folder
rather than remove it.
|
- 1. AGWPE does not us the typical Windows
"Add or Remove Programs" install routine from the Control Panel (Start>
Settings> Control Panel> Add or Remove Programs
).
Instead, simply extract the zipped files into a new folder. I always
create a new folder for each version of AGWPE that I download, since
each version of the program uses the
same file names and I don't want to mix files from different
versions.
| Language files: You do not need to
unzip the alternate language files into the AGWPE folder if you plan
to use the default language of English. (For more
information on alternate language files see the
Tips and Tricks page.) |
- 2. Note that the main AGWPE program is called AGW Packet
Engine.exe
You may want to create a Windows shortcut
to this file
on your desktop.
You can also add a link to AGW Packet
Engine.exe on your Windows Start Menu
by dragging and dropping a copy of the AGWPE shortcut
icon onto
the Windows Start button on the Task Bar at
the bottom of your screen.
Do I need to install special drivers for using the parallel
port
to control PTTl?
Not any more. Earlier versions of AGWPE
did require special
parallel drivers, but they are no longer
necessary. For the most recent versions of AGWPE,
e.g. since version 2001.38, it is not necessary
to download or use the drivers.zip file from the AGWPE site
despite what the AGWPE program Help file or the
AGWPE web site may say.
