... an experience I would not wish on a hated enemy. But this is what is happening with TRLog. I'm used to TRLog. I like TRLog. I'm a fan of TRLog. I don't want to switch. But... -- If the inane inex
Same feeling here. As the hardware "matures" away from serial ports, the gap widens. Sure there is bunch of old clunkers around to run DOS, but it is nice to be able to use some of the bells and whis
I have two computers here in the shack. A really fast Windows XP machine for general use (greyline programs, general logging, email, web browsing, and work related stuff) and an old P-133 with Window
Boy, I thought long and hard about whether to respond to this. I understand Guy's frustration. I've been a TRLog user for 8 years now, and it still serves me very well. If I were in a multi-op enviro
Maybe another thought would be since we are at this crossroad, a version of TR that would run universally on any hardware. As time goes by, versions of Windows makes things more difficult to manage (
My guess is the same could have been said of DOS about 20 years ago, and my guess is there were many good things that never came about at that time which would be easier now. As more and more people
Probably...difference being that the guy who was talking about doing a Windows TR was functioning from a profit standpoint...he's no contester as far as I know...he was just looking for a way to make

Unnecessarily? Meaning I could have phrased it nicer? Or that it's not going away for me as I stated it was? I'm not telling you any lies. It's going away for me, and for others who have posted to me
of a networked application Tony is on the right track. Think of this: Write the core application in Java. Have Machine/OS specifics (com/lpt port handling) in an accompanying process/program. The cor
If I understand it right, one of the most common issues about doing TRLOG in a DOS window under Windows is that the CW doesn't work properly. CW-timing is one of the most real time critical things in
No problems here with CW on several computers running TR from Windows dos box. All works very well for years. For me the issue is 1)Not enough serial ports in notebooks 2) Networking needs to be mor
Generally romantic as a style is intended to cause an emotional response. I don't think of the response to TR's demise as emotional. I think of it as practical. Our choices: 1. dump TR 2. buy old PCs
Well, while 1 and 3 may be logical choices, #2 is definitely not. If you are of the idea that MSDOS 6.22 will not run on the fastest pentium or whatever available, you are mistaken. I have a 1.8 gh o

I'm surprised the network is that much of a problem. It sure hasn't been like that here - the last m/m here was for the RAC WInter Contest and we ran 7 daisy chained very mongrel and very different c

I think Guy is on some rather fundamental point and I agree with all of what he says, but I believe he has understated the degree of the issue. The TRLog core function is outstanding. Some of this is
I agree completely, Tony. A platform-independent version would help for sure. My first ideas pointed to Linux version, also discovered the TLF by PA0RCT. It contains a lot of good things but isn't co
