OK time out boys and girls enuf. I know how edit a file, that is not my
question.
Here is an excerpt of the cabrillo format from its author:
"""so a format which is both fixed column and space delimited was found
to be the least disruptive to present log-checking procedures."""

By adding the extra letter does that mess-up the "fixed column"????

In notepad adding the extra letter wraps the line, in Word the extra letter
is the 81st character on the line.

Several suggestions have been made to edit the Cabrillo file. Can it be
edited, without screwing up the format????? Is a Cabrillo line a specific
length?????

Regarding the recent thread where it appears log checkers have some latitude
in determining whether we copy an exchange correctly or incorrectly.
Here is an excerpt from this weekend with PJ2HQ. CT did not allow enough
room to type the exchange and as a result I result I could be penalized even
though I copied the exchange correctly(VERONA).
PJ2HQ         599 VERON (This from the Cabrillo file)

I participate for fun but for some of the 'big-guns' one or more points
reduced because the logging software didn't leave room could spell doom.
