settings should go with DAT?   Message List

This is my first post on the forum. This subject may have come up before;
sorry if this is an old question. I'd search to forum archive but signing up
on Yahoo and dealing with their cookie policy seemed too high a bar to jump.

So far using Compass I've come across a couple of settings that I feel
should be included in every DAT file. One is the station that takes the
LRUD, either "from" or "to." The other is whether or not automatic
declinations are used (also it'd be nice to assign this on a DAT file level,
rather than just at a MAK level.)

If there is a way to put this information on the DAT files now, I'd like to
hear about it. Or do people do work arounds, like writing what setting is
used in a comment field? Or does everyone try to do it the same way, using
only the "from" station for LRUD and always using auto declination as a
standard?

Thanks

Dwight

Dwight, Thanks for your letter. I agree with you that the information should go into the DAT files. I am working on a new data format that will allow all sorts...
