[ct-user] BUGS / QUESTION

[n6rmj]

HELLO TO ALL
PLEASE READ THIS AND RESPOND
N6RMJ HERE

I HOPE THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY TO DO THIS I HAVE TRIED EVERY OTHER WAY,

I AM PRESENTLY USING VERSION 9.65 / DOS 6.22 / LAPTOPS 486/25 16 MEGS
MEMORY, NETWORKED USING SERIAL PORTS
I HAVE BEEN USING CT FOR MANY YEARS

WITH ALL THAT SAID I HAVE A FEW REQUEST OR/AND  LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON
HOW TO

1. A FEW VERSION BACK THERE WAS A CHANGE THAT AFFECTED THE GAB WINDOW, WHEN
ONE STATION SENDS A MESSAGE
    TO  ANOTHER IT WOULD STAY UP ON THE SCREEN UNTIL THE USER SWITCHED IT
OFF, NOW IT ONLY STAYS UP FOR 15
     SECONDS AT LONGEST AND GOES AWAY,
  A. IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE THIS STAY UP LONGER? OR CAN A VARIABLE BE PUT
INTO THE CONFIGURATION FILE TO ALLOW THIS
      SUCH AS 0-120 SECONDS OR USER DISABLE ONLY ?

2. THIS RELATES TO ALL VHF/UHF/SHF CONTEST
     IN THESE CONTEST WE USE ROVERS, ROVERS SIGN AS /R WHEN LOGGING THEM
THEY COME UP AS DUPES
     UNTIL YOU PUT IN THE GRID
     THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY TO SHOW ALL THE GRIDS AND BANDS YOU HAVE WORKED
THAT ROVER IN.

3. THIS IS A NETWORK ISSUE
     WHEN NETWORKING THE LOGS GET OUT OF SYNC
     IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE THE PROGRAM GO OUT PERIODICALLY AND SYNCHRONIZE
ALL THE LOGS IN THE NETWORK?
     ALSO IF ONE OF THE COMPUTERS IN THE NETWORK GOES DOWN, WHEN IT COMES
BACK UP INTO THE NETWORK
     THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO HAVE IT BE IN SYNC WITH ALL THE REST.

I UNDERSTAND THE MERGE FEATURE AFTER THE CONTEST IS OVER AND THAT IS WHAT WE
HAVE BEEN DOING
BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE ALL THE LOGS IN SYNC WHILE CONTEST SO YOU KNOW
WHAT IS HAPPENING

I HAVE SENT THESE QUESTIONS TO THE BUG/REQUEST FEATURE SEVERAL TIMES, NOW I
AM SENDING IT TO THE GROUP HOPING I GET A RESPONSE AND SOME ACTION

THANKS

SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND IN THE VHF CONTEST
