GyHost/GyHand software version 2002.08.21
is the Growth and Yield Permanent Sample Plot's (PSP) field data collecting,
editing and reporting system. The GyHand software allows the user
to collect and edit field sample data on the handheld computer while
the GyHost Software transfers, edits and reports on the data using
a personal computer.
- Create a directory on
your hard drive from the DOS prompt (e.g., md GYHOST02) or make
a new folder using Windows. The directory/folder name should have
no more than 8 characters. You may have more than one directory/folder
containing the software in order to separate projects or sample
types. GyHost02 is used as an example but you could use names
incorporating the project year, contractor, sample type et cetera.
