Bill Somerville 8440dd5af0 First attempt at adding the WSJT-X user guide to the CMake build
These documentation source files are not  the one true version, just a
copy for testing purposes. DO NOT EDIT THESE FILES.

To use this  on Windows you will need a  working asciidoc installation
and  the  path  to  it  must be  included  in  your  CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
(probably via a  local CMake tool chain file). At  the time of writing
the official  asciidoc package does  not work on Windows.   The latest
development  master does  however  work,  it can  be  downloaded as  a
snapshot ZIP archive from here:

A few _WSJT-X_ features behave differently in Windows, Linux, or OS X,
or may not be relevant to all operating platforms.

.Show DXCC entity and worked before status
This program option (selected on the *Settings | General* tab) is
intended mostly for use on non-Windows platforms. Windows users
should use VK3AMA's excellent {jtalert} utility instead.
When this option is checked _WSJT-X_ appends some useful information
to all CQ messages displayed in the _Band Activity_ window. The name
of the DXCC entity is shown, abbreviated if necessary. Your ``worked
before'' status (according to log file +wsjtx_log.adi+) is flagged
with a single character and a change of background color, as follows:
[horizontal]
!:: (bright green) -- New DXCC entity
~:: (mid green) -- You have already worked this DXCC entity but not
this station
:: (dull green) -- You have previously worked the calling station
The program does not distinguish between modes, but it does
differentiate between bands.
_WSJT-X_ includes a built-in +cty.dat+ file containing DXCC prefix
information. Updated files can be downloaded from {cty_dat} when
required. If an updated +cty.dat+ is present in the logs folder
and readable, it will be used in preference to the built-in one.
The log file +wsjtx_log.adi+ is updated whenever you log a QSO from
_WSJT-X_ (but note that it can also be erased from the file menu). You
can append or overwrite this file by exporting your QSO history as an
ADIF file from another logging program. Turning *Show DXCC entity and
worked B4 status* off and on again will cause _WSJT-X_ to re-read the
log file. Very large log files may cause _WSJT-X_ to slow down when
searching for calls.
