[ct-user] Merge Bug

[Alan Braun]

I posted a message a couple of weeks ago about problems merging files
for Field Day.  I discovered the problem, which actually is in the MERGE 
utility and not in CT proper.  I was trying to merge a small CW.bin file 
with a small SSB.bin file for a 2A FD operation of the sort my club usually 
does.  It seems that if the same call appears at the same time in both files, 
MERGE thinks it is only one contact & doesn't merge the 2nd one in; if 
however the time is different there is no problem.

e.g. 0105 K1EA 1D EMA CW  plus 0105 K1EA 1D EMA SSB = only on QSO in 
the merged file, whereas if the times are different both QSO's make it into
the merged file.  This is with the MERGE.EXE file dated 4-22-94, which is
the most recent one I've found.

This would appear to be a "bug" that needs to be fixed in a subsequent
release of the program.
