Hi,

These notes describe the 'UKsights' database file, which contains
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.

'UKsights' consists of a single database file. The 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.
The entries can be sorted into a different order than currently 
given, however, by default the order is geographical:

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

The entries for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are sorted
according to a generally anticlockwise tour.

A minimally-formatted PC version also exists for those who don't have an EPOC
device.


The following is a list of the fields:

Geo:
An integer (hidden) indicating geographical position. After sorting
on the 'Geo' field (default), records will be displayed in 
geographical order (See Appendix 1).

Chrono:
An integer (hidden) best indicating the year associated with the
sight, e.g., Shakespeare's  Birthplace '1564'. 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 and anecdotal information and interesting facts to 
put things into context.

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 prefixed with the '+' sign (an international convention)
indicating 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
01 March - 31 October. A closing time followed by '/dusk' means that closure
will occur at the time shown or at dusk if dusk is earlier.

A WWW home page address if available.

National grid reference (still under development).


And that's about it.

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

amergin_adare@hotmail.com.


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/PC etc. I don't expect any problems to arise but I
like to cover myself.

Hope you find it useful.


Regards,

Amergin Adare (taken over from previous author).
