Could there be a feature for TR to reread the log and recalculate the
totals. This could be done if the date/time of the log file changed from
what TR thought it should be after its last update. In other words,

Check the date/time of the log file
Is it what was saved off on the last update?
If not, write the current QSO, re-read the log, recalc the totals
Save the log date/time for comparison next time.

This could be a program option.
