ADIF is a lot more flexible than Cabrillo - can support a huge variety
of information fields - but that flexibility makes it a lot harder to
parse.  

I receive the occasional ADIF entry in the TNQP.  Either I take the
extra step to run them through something that converts to Cabrillo, or I
do a whole pile of search-and-replaces to get it into a one-line-per-QSO
format with all the field tags removed.  Either way it's a pain.  

A TRLog log.dat or NA .prn file would be a lot easier to deal with.
