The Setup Program will want to put the program into a default path:  the C:\Win1010 folder, but it gives you an opportunity to put into a directory of your choice. I recommend accepting the default Setup Directory of C:\Win1010. If you are using one of the older versions of Windows, you may get the message that some of your files need to be updated. The latest versions of several of the DLL and OCX files were used when compiling the Win1010 program. You should answer "Yes" to let the program update your files. If you may get a message that a certain file (most likely msvcrt.dll or mfc40.dll) is in use and cannot be updated or a "File Access Error", again hit "Ignore" and then "Yes" to continue. This is the first version that has been compiled with Visual Basic 6.0 with Windows XP. Previous versions were compiled with VB5 using Windows 2000. VB6 is more Vista friendly.

This is the full Win1010 Suite of the four programs (Contest, County Hunter, Certificate Chaser and Daily Log). As downloaded, it will run in the demo mode with a 25 record limit in each of the four modules. Upon purchase, an User ID file (user_95.dat) will be supplied to remove this 25 record limit. Purchase info is given on the other HDS 1010 Software Web pages.

NEW: A new "Fast Start" web page for the Win1010 Contest Program. This is a step-by-step guide for newcomers using the Contest Program. This info is also available in PDF format.

Win1010 Program & File Updates and Supporting Files

NOTE: Win1010 Version 3.2 was compiled with Visual Basic 6.0 using Windows XP. Previous versions were compiled with Visual Basic 5.0 using Windows 2000. VB6 is more Vista friendly than VB5. Depending on what other programs are installed on your computer, you may have to update the DLL/OCX Windows Supporting files by using the DLL_UP program below.

Download Program Update 3.2  (W10_32up.zip) dated April 10, 2008  - 1.1 MB - ZIP METHOD

NOTE: Download update file into a temp folder and unzip into your Win1010 folder.  See below for details on the 'New Method' which updates directly from the web page. See the contents web page for all files in the update package and see the  "What's New In Version 3.2" web page for changes and new features. See  the  "Complete Update History" web page for a complete update history on Win1010.

Download Program Update 3.2 (w10_32up.exe) dated April 10, 2008 -  1.3 MB  - NEW METHOD

My Mozilla Firefox web browser does not give the option to "Open" or "Run"  the file, but the Internet Explorer does. Maybe there is a setting on the Firefox to allow one to Run EXE files? Run from the web or download into a temp folder and run. The program will get the proper path from the Windows Registry. Everytime Win1010 runs it writes the path to the Registry. See the contents web page for all files in the update package and see the  "What's New In Version 3.2" web page for changes and new features.

NOTE ON UPGRADING: Depending on your Windows operating system and your current version of Win1010, you may need to update the TabCTL32.OCX, CSText32.OCX and CSCMD32.OCX files as described below. Also the FreeSize OCX if you were using a version before V2.5.  When starting your new version of Win1010 if you get the 50003 error or a freeze-up on startup, then these OCX files will need updating. Instructions are below or you can email me with your old Win1010 version and Windows O/S.

Download DLL and OCX Support Files  dated April 10, 2008 - 4.4 KB  Filename dll_up.zip

After you install any Win1010 update and you get the 50003 unexpected error, then your support files are not up-to-date and you need to download and install these support files.  This is the entire collection of DLL and OCX support files that are needed by the Win1010 program. This is a zipped file and consist of only the supporting files.  Unzip into a temp folder and run the dll_up.exe program to install. This uses the regular Win1010 Setup program, but since there are no Win1010 files, only the DLL and OCX support files will be installed. Accept the default install location in the Setup program.  If you only get the 50003 error when going to the Options Menu, then probably only the TABCTL32.OCX file needs updating. If so, email me at jhardy@surfsouth.com and I will email you the small OCX file (or download here) and instructions on how to manually register the new OCX file by going to START, then RUN and entering regsvr32.exe  tabctl32.ocx and hit OK.   The TAB OCX file should be unzipped and placed in the Windows\System32 folder. This is the new version that may be required starting with Version 2.8a.

Unfortunately the DLL and OCX files are not forward compatible – only backward compatible.  If the new update is compiled with newer DLL and/or OCX files, then those support files must also be on your computer. This has long been an issue with Microsoft and programmers.  For further info on the 50003 problem, several methods to resolve and a chart showing the supporting files click on the blue 50003 web page link above. (This page has not been updated for the new DLL/OCX files)

INSTALLING AN EXISTING WIN1010 PROGRAM ON A NEW COMPUTER.  If you make a CD or ZipDrive backup of the entire Win1010 folder and sub-folders, then you can just copy that backup to your new computer and then run this DLL-UP program to install the necessary DLL and OCX Windows supporting files. Copying the Win1010 folder across a network is also another possibility of transferring to the new computer.

NOTE: If you don't have download provisions, the entire current program is available on CD for $10 for registered users or anyone wishing to use the Win1010 Program in the Demo Mode. This will also contain the complete FCC program and and updated databases.

Download Application File Win1010n.exe  V3.2  (Win1010n.zip) dated April 27, 2008  - 1.31 MB

NOTE: This is the only the application file and was compiled using N Code which creates a much faster program, but also much larger since it has all the supporting files inside the program. Older versions of Win1010 used P Code. Use this only if you already have version 3.2 installed and running. You can rename to win1010.exe or create a new desktop icon to test. It should run as fast as if it was written in C++.

Download FreeSize(VB5).OCX dated March 5, 2003 - 14K (freesize.zip)

The FreeSize(VB5).OCX file was included in the Version 2.5 update. If the 2.5 update was not installed, then you will need to unzip this OCX file into the Win1010 folder and Windows\System folder. NOTE: On some installs, when starting Win1010, you may get an error message saying that the FreeSize.OCX control is missing. This error message usually means that another OCX or DLL is missing. Windows just picks the first one it finds for the error message. When using VISTA, it usually means that the CSText32.OCX and CSCMD32.OCX was installed but not registered and will require manually registering using the regsvr32 OCXFileName in the RUN window.

Download Zip.EXE - 83K (zip.zip)

The Zip.exe file was included in several of the previous updates and is used in the CertChaser #10 Backup routine to make zip backups. If the file is not present you will get a Run Time Error #53 meaning "file not found". Unzip this file into the Win1010 folder to fix the problem.

Download EasyZip (Freeware version) - 1.7Mb (ezip40.exe)

This EasyZip Windows Zipper/Unzipper is a very easy program to use. It is included in the Win1010 CD in the MISC folder.

Download OCX.Zip - 184K (ocx.zip) (WinXP Version)

Versions 2.8b and earlier had two OCX files that were not compatible with Windows XP SP2 when installing the initial Win1010 on the SP2 computer. This OCX.ZIP file contains two updated SP2 compatible files: CSCMD32.OCX and CSTEXT32.OCX. This file can be unzipped into the Windows\System32 folder and may need manually registered by going to the Start - Run box and entering regsvr32.exe  cscmd32.ocx and hit OK. Then do the same for the cstext32.ocx file. You will get a popup message saying that the control was successfully registered. One user installed the two new OCX files and did not manually register, but just ran the program OK. So it appears that these files may automatically self-register. So try to run the program first. The DLL_UP.EXE file below will do the same thing and requires no manual routines, but is a much larger file, since it updates all the DLL and OCX files used by Win1010.

Download Updated Counties File with new Bloomfield County, CO - (Counties.Zip - 10K)

This file was updated October 7, 2001 to reflect the addition of a new county. Just unzip this file into your Win1010 folder. This file was included in the Version 2.0a update package.

Download FCC Search Program Supporting Files (Support.ZIP) – 545K - January 2, 2005

The support files consist of the Zip Code files, the Zip_AZ.TXT file, XZip.txt  and the Counties.TXT file. These files should go into the FCC Directory. The Zip Code files were updated with about 646 new Zip Codes. The XZip file is a collection of Zip Codes that the FCC have transposed or they are not found in the regular Zip Code database.  The city and state should be correct, but the Zip Code should be confirmed. If this file is used, then the notation (FCC Zip Data) will be placed by the city and state.

Download FCC Previous Call Database (PrevCall.ZIP) – 967K

The Previous Call Database contains approximately 182,137 call sign changes dated May 11,  2008 and is updated weekly. These files should go into the FCC Directory.  NOTE: This file is only needed if you convert your own FCC raw file or desire to use the Ctrl-V routine within Win1010 to find a new call when inputting an old one.

NOTE: This file is only needed if you convert your own FCC raw file or desire to use the Ctrl-D routine within Win1010 to find a DOB.

Download FCC2 Program V1.5 for Windows 95/98 (Version for Win1010 Users) – 135K - September 23, 2002 - New Update from Version 1.1 to Version 1.5

The new Windows version that requires some of the same DLL and OCX files as Win1010.  If you have already installed Win1010, then all you need is this FCC2.EXE and help files. The file name is FCC2.ZIP — Unzip and put into your existing FCC folder or create a new one named FCC2 for instance. Then set your path in Win1010 to the new folder. The Convert Help files will list the files needed in the FCC2 folder. If you have already installed the FCC2 program for Windows Version 1.0, then just unzip this file into your FCC folder. It is the FCC2.EXE and help files. Note: Version 1.3 adds the Canadian database to the Name search and creates a text file for the Name and Zip Searches named Found.TXT, which can be loaded into a word processor. Version 1.4 adds some traps for possible errors and several changes to the conversion routine. Version 1.5 adds several traps to prevent errors and places the results of the Call search on the Windows Clipboard for pasting (Ctrl-V) into NotePad or whatever you desire.

Download FCC2 Program V1.1 for Windows 95/98 (Version for New Users) – 1.8MB - December 26, 1999

The new Windows version that requires running a Windows Setup Package to install the needed Windows support files. This will create a new folder named FCC on the C: Drive. The Setup file is named FCC2S.EXE and is self-extracting - No need to unzip – just double-click on file to install.  New users will also need to download the DOB, PrevCall and Supporting Files above. The program converts the raw FCC files or you can download the completed 14 db_xx files above along with the matching Index files (items 2 and 4 above).  Note: After installing the 1.1 Version, download and install the Version 1.4 update above. Also the updated "Supporting Files"

NOTE: I use a special version to convert the weekly FCC raw data file. It requires at least 512MB of RAM since some of the temp files are stored in memory for a quicker conversion. There are only a few users that convert their own FCC files, since it is quicker to just download from this web page. However, if you desire to have a copy of this special version, please email me and I will send you a copy.
