Interestingly, I saw an error which I thought was attributed to MULTI.CFG as
well.  We changed the name of *one* station in the file on *one* computer,
then CT would dump out before coming all the way up.  After trying
many things with the MULTI.CFG, I finally restalled the CT executable, and
it seemed to work again.  This was with Version 9.xx.  This was on a 386
with Stacker and QEMM.

Me too!

Well, the new "bandmap" feature in Version 9 does this.  It puts up a window
with all QSOs worked or spotted on your band in the last hour, in frequency
order, along with the time they were worked or spotted.  The QSOs are
different colors depending on whether they are new mults, new QSOs or
already worked.  So all the information you need is probably in this window.
