Title:		UKsights
Version:	99c Jul 1999
Platform:	S3 and S5 (SIBO and EPOC)
Description:	Details of interesting places to visit in the British Isles
Terms:		Copyright Freeware



Hi,

These notes describe the 'UKsights' database file, which provides 
details of interesting places to visit in the British Isles. I never found a 
holiday book that consistently provided the details I needed on tourist 
attractions, so I produced this.

This version primarily contains enhancements to background information from
the previous version as well as the inclusion of some National Grid references.

'UKsights' consists of a single database file. Two versions are 
provided depending on which type of PDA it will be loaded onto.

The filenames are:

1.  UKsights		(EPOC version, e.g. Psion S5)

2.  Uksights.dbf	(SIBO version, e.g. Psion S3a/S3c/Siena etc)

The relevant file must be copied to the PDA without any conversion.
Typically using 'drag and drop' within the PsiWin application.
On the Psion S5, a data file may be placed almost anywhere, whilst on the
Psion S3 it should be copied into the \DAT\ directory on any disk.
The entries for the EPOC version can be sorted into a different order than
currently given, however, by default they are in geographical order:

1 London
2 Rest of England
3 Wales (Cymru)
4 Edinburgh
5 Rest of Scotland
6 Northern Ireland
7 Republic of Ireland (Eire)

The entries for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are sorted
according to a generally anticlockwise tour. The Republic of Ireland is
still underrepresented, but that should be addressed in later releases.



The following is a list of the fields:

Geo:
An integer indicating geographical position. This field is hidden in the EPOC
version and non existent in the other version. After sorting on the 'Geo' 
field (default) records will be displayed in geographical order (See 
Appendix 1).

Chrono:
An integer best indicating the year associated with the sight, e.g., 
Shakespeare's  Birthplace '1564'. This field is hidden in the EPOC version 
and non existent in the other version. After sorting on the 'Chrono' field 
records will be displayed in chronological order. This gives a view of the 
historical development of the British Isles.

Name:
Name of the sight.

Description:
A brief description.

Address:
The geographical address.

Undergrnd:
The nearest underground station, where applicable, for sights in central 
London or Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Notes:
General notes about the location.

Did u know:
Typically historical information and interesting facts to put things into 
context. Only available on the EPOC version.
Convertion of a large S5 memo field to any other type of fixed-size field 
(such as is used with the S3) is not particularly effective.

Tel:
Telephone number. 'R' after a number indicates a recorded message, 
usually interrogateable from a TouchTone telephone. To call a UK 
number from outside the UK, dial the international access code of your 
own country, followed by '44' for the UK, followed by the telephone 
number shown but with the initial '0' removed. For example, to call '01453 
123456' from the USA.  Dial '011 44 1453 123456'. Numbers for the Irish 
Republic are preceded with the '+' sign. The '+' indicates the international 
access code e.g. 00 in the UK, 011 in the USA.

Cost:
Unless stated otherwise, only the single adult entrance fee is given. Many 
cathedrals and museums allow a voluntary subscription, whilst some 
suggest a minimum contribution.

Open:
All opening times are in the 24hr format. They are as accurate as can be
established at present, however, details change frequently, and it would be 
advisable to ring the particular location before visiting, just to be certain. 
Most attractions are closed on obvious days such as Christmas and New 
Year. However, this has been omitted from the database to save space. 
The last admission time is shown after the closing time using the letters 
'LA' followed by the difference between last admission time and closing 
time. For example a closing time of 17.00 with a last admission time of 
16.00 would be shown as 17.00LA-01.00. There is a subtlety insofar as, if 
there is no space between the closing time and the 'LA' the last admission 
time applies only to the time to which it is juxtaposed, otherwise it applies 
to all the closing times preceding it in the field.
Unless stated otherwise, month ranges are inclusive, e.g., Mar-Oct denotes the
beginning of March until the end of October. A closing time followed by '/dusk'
means that closure will occur at the time shown or at dusk if that is earlier.

A WWW home page address if available.

Grid
National grid reference (still under development).


And that's about it.

For any comments, additions or general improvements, feel free to email me at:

The only other thing to mention is that I can't give any guarantees as to the 
accuracy of the data. Having said that, however, I've tried the best I can to 
maximise accuracy.

Also, if you fall out of a balloon, sink in a boat, get run over by a tour bus 
or if any harm, trouble or unpleasantness arises as a result of your reading 
or acting upon the information given; you have my sympathy but that's all. The
same conditions and degree of sympathy extend to the effects of accessing the
information on your PDA. I don't expect any problems to arise but I like to
cover myself.

Hope you find it useful.


Best regards,

Gerard Mulholland.
