Hey Derek,

Any tool used indescriminantly can cause you to fail!
You still have to copy the exchanges.  This just saves
on typing for those which are correct!

	I've whipped up a little external application for WriteLog that does

Dangerous - people don't always use the same name in these things.
This might encourage people to copy the serial number and then
tune away without copying the rest  I thought the Sprint was one
contest where you really have to copy the info sent!  On one
occasion Derrick VE4VV and I swapped names and cost the winner a
couple of Qs.  Trey and Tree have also swapped in the past.

Who's doing the contesting, you or your computer?  I thought the
idea was to copy the info, not look it up in some magic database.
