Short english explanation for the Ruputer Train-Timetable-Program 1. Overall information With rail010 you can easily make your own train/bus/underground-timetable and show it on your watch. You select the train, then the station and by moving the joystick down you select the hours of departure - by clicking left or right the minutes. Onhand-Compatibility: Works fine, but only with japanese menue, that is displayed as rubbish. But it is easy to use. Explanation follows The rail.dat contains the information about the trains. The file is made from a text file by the included DOS-Program "raildb.exe". 2. Editing the timetable data To edit your own train-timetable, follow the following steps: Copy the included japanese "sample.txt" to a directory. Copy the included DOS-program "raildb.exe" to the same directory. Open sample.txt with a editor. You will see this (and more): @JR{‰êü ‰¡•l -------------------------------------------------------- #“Œ‹ž •œ“ú -------------------------------------------------------- 05 ‹ž ‹ó 21 40 -------------------------------------------------------- 06 ’à ’à 02 16 31 45 53 -------------------------------------------------------- -cutted- The structure in this file is as follows: The train is indicated by a "@". So delete the Text (begining with "JR") and enter the Train you want. For example "Train Berlin->Paris". The "#" indicates the station. So write here for example "Berlin". Later you can add different stations between Berlin and Paris. The numbers coming now are the train-departure-times. 05 is the hour, 21 and 48 the minutes. In this example the train goes at 5.21, at 5.40, at 6.02 and so on. Delete the strange symbols over the "minutes". You can write down additional information. For example, write a "W" here, if the train at this time goes only at weekends. You can add now more times, and more stations. If you want to add another train, or your local Autobus, its the same. Beginn with a "@". You have to write it all down in _one_ file. Better you follow the structure of the file. I did not test, if it works also with shorter lines of "-------", for example. You can find a complete sample of the text at the end oft this file. 3. Make a custom rail.dat Now enter DOS-Mode and enter raildb sample.txt rail.dat Now a new rail.dat has been created. To install the programm on your watch, you have to copy rail.exf and rail.dat to your watch. The other programs are only needed at your PC. Start the program and dont care about the japanes menue. You have only to remember the following: With the first line you can view the selected train and station. The second let you change the train and station you want to know the times of. Here you can select easy between the entered (western/european) data of yourself. The third is for changing the time of the watch (not recommended) And the fourth line exits the program. Thats all. 4. The other exe-files I am not really sure. I think the the railconv.exe is for converting train-timetables from a popular japanes railway-web-site to a text file that is similar to sample.txt. And raildumb is used to convert a rail.dat back to txt-format. But I did not test it. This is what I understood when I read the computer-translation of the japanese-description. Anyway, you do not really need them. So, have fun with this program! Feel free to add comments to this list by contacting the Administrator of the website of this file.
