I suppose the new proposed scheme will help those who put all
of their contest files into c:\log, but I wouldn't recommend
doing that anyways. I've seen folks put everything in c:\log,
then notice things aren't working right because there are files
from previous contests in the directory.
I like to keep the data separate from the executables, and use
a simple tree structure. I'll probably continue to organize all
of my TR-Log files as follows:
c:\log -- nothing but TR executables, help files, and ROMASTER.DTA
(my own TRMASTER.DTA made from my own contest QSOs only.)
c:\contest -- root level contest data directory
c:\contest\1998 -- a subdirectory for each year...
c:\contest\1998\sscw98 -- and a subdirectory for each contest...
c:\contest\1998\sscw98\logcfg.dat ...
.
. (individual files for that contest...)
.
c:\contest\1998\sscw98\restart.bin ...
I find that this scheme helps me with backups, archiving, and browsing.
I suppose everyone has their own favorite way of doing this. The new
scheme might help those just getting started.
