First  of all, to set the stage: I am relatively computer illiterates.

I have been using Win EQF for several years . After trying the "trial period" I purchased it and successfully entered the registration number and proceeded with no real problem.

I realize that officially it is no longer being supported. Periodically it doesn't enter contacts without interrupting with a message telling me the trial period has ended and I should purchase the program and enter the registration number. I then find and enter the inexcusably long registration number and all is well - for another month or two........then the same drill all over again.

I agree that it's a great program and hate to give up on it, but ..........

Is there anything that can be done ? -  in layman's language.

Martin,
I see the problem. You can too if you look at the file logscp.pas
on github. Line 2090 is where the name is extracted from the
TRMASTER.ASC file. There are 2 tests that follow. The first excludes
all 1 character names. The second excludes all 2 character names except
AL, ED, OZ, BO, TY, JO, GO, OX, CY, JP, MO, HI, and OJ. It is trivial
to remove these tests and I will do that in the next release. I assume
Tree put these in as a junk filter.

A bonus is if ? of question mark and the mysterians gets his license we
can all have a correct TRMASTER.DTA :-)

Hello,

a little isuue: if using name from TRMASTER database, the name is
ignored when its length is 2 characters only. Now it appears with F5MNK
(name LO). It must be a very old bug because it was in the initial
Tree's DOS version, I can remember similar problem with K4EF (name EV).
