+<H2><A NAME="s7">7. CVS</A></H2>
-<P>Below is a complete list of commands available from the cluster prompt.
-Most maintenance tasks are automatic but there are some commands that are useful
-for a sysop. These are listed below in alphabetical order. The number in
-brackets following the command name is the permissions level needed to use
-the command.
+<P>CVS stands for "Concurrent Versions System" and the CVS for DXSpider is held
+at
+<A HREF="http://www.sourceforge.net">Sourceforge</A>. This means
+that it is possible to update your DXSpider installation to the latest
+sources by using a few simple commands.

-<P><CODE><B>connect <callsign></B> Start a connection to another DX Cluster</CODE>
-<P>
-<P>Start a connection process that will culminate in a new connection to the

-use the script in /spider/connect/<callsign> to effect the 'chat' exchange
-necessary to traverse the network(s) to logon to the cluster <callsign>.

-<H2><A NAME="ss7.18">7.18 dbavail (0)</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P><CODE><B>dbavail</B> Show a list of all the databases in the system</CODE>
-<P>
-<P>The title says it all really, this command lists all the databases defined
-in the system. It is also aliased to SHOW/COMMAND.
-<P>
-<H2><A NAME="ss7.19">7.19 dbcreate (9)</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P><CODE><B>dbcreate <name></B> Create a database entry<BR>
-<B>dbcreate <name> chain <name> [<name>..]</B> Create a chained database entry<BR>
-<B>dbcreate <name> remote <node></B> Create a remote database
-entry<BR></CODE>
-<P>
-<P>DBCREATE allows you to define a database in the system. It doesn't actually
-create anything, just defines it.
-<P>The databases that are created are simple DB_File hash databases, they are
-therefore already 'indexed'.
-<P>You can define a local database with the first form of the command eg:
-<P>DBCREATE oblast
-<P>You can also chain databases with the addition of the 'chain' keyword.
-This will search each database one after the other. A typical example
-is:
-<P>DBCREATE sdx_qsl chain sql_ad
-<P>No checking is done to see if the any of the chained databases exist, in
-fact it is usually better to do the above statement first then do each of
-the chained databases.
-<P>Databases can exist offsite. To define a database that lives on another
-node do:
-<P>DBCREATE buckmaster remote gb7dxc
-<P>Remote databases cannot be chained; however, the last database in a
-a chain can be a remote database eg:
-<P>DBCREATE qsl chain gb7dxc
-<P>To see what databases have been defined do:
-<P>DBAVAIL (or it will have been aliased to SHOW/COMMAND)
-<P>It would be normal for you to add an entry into your local Aliases file
-to allow people to use the 'SHOW/<dbname>' style syntax. So you would
-need to add a line like:-
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
- 's' => [
- ..
- ..
- '^sh\w*/buc', 'dbshow buckmaster', 'dbshow',
- ..
- ..
- ],
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>to allow
-<P>SH/BUCK g1tlh

-<P>See DBIMPORT for the importing of existing AK1A format data to databases.

-<H2><A NAME="ss7.20">7.20 dbimport (9)</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P><CODE><B>dbimport <dbname></B> Import AK1A data into a database</CODE>
-<P>
-<P>If you want to import or update data in bulk to a database you can use
-this command. It will either create or update entries into an existing
-database. For example:-
-<P>DBIMPORT oblast /tmp/OBLAST.FUL
-<P>will import the standard OBLAST database that comes with AK1A into the
-oblast database held locally.

-<H2><A NAME="ss7.21">7.21 dbremove (9)</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P><CODE><B>dbremove <dbname></B> Delete a database</CODE>
-<P>
-<P>DBREMOVE will completely remove a database entry and also delete any data
-file that is associated with it.
-<P>There is no warning, no comeback, no safety net.
-<P>For example:
-<P>DBREMOVE oblast
-<P>will remove the oblast database from the system and it will also remove
-the associated datafile.
-<P>I repeat:
-<P>There is no warning, no comeback, no safety net.
-<P>You have been warned.

-
-<P><CODE><B>dbshow <dbname> <key></B> Display an entry, if it exists, in a database</CODE>
-<P>
-<P>This is the generic user interface to the database to the database system.
-It is expected that the sysop will add an entry to the local Aliases file
-so that users can use the more familiar AK1A style of enquiry such as:
-<P>

-<P>
-<P>This command sends all the latitude and longitude information that your

-information is that more locator information is held by you. This
-means that more locators are given on the DX line assuming you have

-the likely propagation to <prefix></CODE>
-<P>
-<P>This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contacting
-a station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a modest
-power of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about 0.15muV/10dB SINAD)
-<P>The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signal
-levels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths on
-specified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful for
-paths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced accuracy
-for paths shorter or longer than this.
-<P>The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy and
-used to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year,
-hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter and
-receiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here,
-with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complex
-than the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations,
-such as the Voice of America.
-<P>The command will display some header information detailing its
-assumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes and
-bearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end
-(LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path
-(Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for which
-the system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a value.
-<P>The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the conventional
-6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it means that it is
-1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by an 'm' it means that
-there is likely to be much fading and by an 's' that the signal is likely
-to be noisy.
-<P>By default SHOW/MUF will show the next two hours worth of data. You
-can specify anything up to 24 hours worth of data by appending the no of
