Ian -

Ever try N3FJP's contest software?? Never have to lift your hands off the
keyboard for that, it works flawlessly for me from Windows 98 to XP
Professional, runs smooth and fast, even on a Mac running Virtual PC (but I
use a Compaq laptop now).

It's simple to learn but still includes a help file anyway,  simple to load
- only one file per contest, not a handful of different installs for each
contest each with different version numbers. Just download, install and run!
And Scott's customer care is too good to believe... Oh yeah, IT'S VERY
CHEAP!

73, Walter W2WJO
