Jim.
take it easy.
In case You do not realise,
nowaday's Writelog is not contest software.
It is selected mode-/selected-contest software.
Believe me,
there is something more to contesting than CW and RTTY.
Yours,
Alec

Alec, I don't think any of us really know WHAT you want. Fldigi looks
like a general purpose multi mode digital program. If that is what
you want, run it. Writelog is a contest logging program. A different
animal all together. So before you can expect anyone to take you
seriously, take some time to get to know the features of Writelog
before you go spouting all the things you want changed because you
don't think it does exactly what you want. It does do exactly what I
want. And yes it does take time. And the help is there in the help
files and the on-line sources.
