By and large, DOS is dead. But TR rocks.. Hopefully we all know that, too ;)
However, be it for good or bad, time marches on and Win based logging
programs will probably become more and more the standard.
Now, before I ask, let me say that I've NEVER used anything but TR and CT.
The former by choice and preference, the latter because that's what we've
got @ NQ4I (yes.. I've tried to sell Rick on TR. More than once;) Well,
there was that one time I used -or tried to use- WriteLog during some now
forgotten 'test.
At any rate, I do seem to recall that WL was extremely "mouse heavy". By
that I mean we were always having to dink with the mouse to activate a
field, etc. Assuming that WL is not alone in it's reliance on a mouse, I
gotta ask....
WHY??!!!! Surely the same fields/tasks can be handled by keystokes(??).
Maybe it's just me going on a prior less than favourable experience and
perhaps things have changed. But i don't see why an op should have to take a
hand off of the radio/keyboard/whatever just because he's using a Win based
program.
OK.. flame away;)
