Q1600 How do I update the list of messages in the Catalog?
A1600 Every time there is a small change, deletion or addition to the Winlink Catalog displayed in the AirMail menu "Window>Catalog," the list should be updated to take advantage of the changes and additions.
The Update is relatively short, while obtaining a new List is a bit longer. Either way, once the change is received, AirMail automatically updates your existing Catalog list. The proper method for updating or obtaining a new list is as follows:
- Go to the AirMail menu item "Window>Catalog."
- On the left, expand the directory tree to show "catalog>WL2K"
- Under Catalog, expand "WL2K' further to show all the PMBO call signs.
- Pick a PMBO that you wish to use and Click on that PMBO callsign.
- On the right hand side you will see both "LIST" and "UPDATE."
- Check "UPDATE" or "LIST." If you choose "UPDATE," all changes & additions will be shown, BUT the deletions will NOT be taken away. However, if you choose "list," then you will have a fresh new shorter list. Unless otherwise instructed, an update will be adequate.
- When you have checked either "UPDATE" or "LIST," find the same PMBO you placed
the request under and send that PMBO the request. - Wait, and then at another time, check back into any PMBO and retrieve the information you requested. NOTE: Once the update or new list has been received, it will automatically update your AirMail Catalog List. If it does not, then YOU did something incorrectly.
