Gee excuse me if I'm not surprised by N6TR's response. I will take issue with
it though. How many multi-multi networked stations are there, 10 or 12. My
guess would be around 1% of the total contest stations. So from where I sit and
99% of the contesting community:'Who Cares'
If the insert key is so wrong why are upcoming contest logging programmers like
N1MM implementing it.
The overwhelming majority of computer users use Windows. I have a new
'super-duper' computer with lots of bells/whistles. The first thing I did when
I received it was to create a DOS partition, to run CT. But, I, like you, are
in the minority. For most contests I prefer to run CT in Windows, as a windows
program.
Each programmer has to determine his 'niche' and go for it. I predict 5 years
from now you will be a full blown dinosaur, today you're just a baby dinosaur.
If TR had been the first computer contest logging program I used I would still,
probably, be using today. CT came along first, for me, and I liked it. I tried
TR in the early days but had already been exposed to CT. TR is a well written
program and does exactly what it is supposed to do: 'LOG' a contest.
I said before:""CT is as current today as it was 20 years ago"" and I'll stand
by it.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Everyone uses CT
Well - I guess I am not everyone, as I have never used it - at least not
enough to fully learn it.
I couldn't ever figure out the INSERT key to start sending CW - just too far
from the home typiing position (and too small of a key).
At a recent multi-multi where all but two of the computers were using CT,
it was shown that the new TR feature that emulates the CT network worked
great. This was used at a multi-multi that won the world.
So - I hope that those who want to use TR can hopefully use this feature
to setup a couple of computers with TR and join the multi-multi without
having to learn CT.

PS: I think I have decided to write a windows version of TR. However, it
will take awhile - I expect about 10 years.
