The rules are what they are. No, DARC cannot be held responsible if you 
are using old and outdated software, sorry. It is up to you to use 
appropriate software or generate a reasonable log by hand.

Let me assure you, however, that each and every log we receive will be
converted to a STF file (internal DARC file format), cross-checked with all
other logs and then re-scored. We are trying to be as friendly as possible 
here. So even if you are sending us a log with old mults, we will find 
them and you will receive credit for them. This enables us to treat every
entry equally, apply the same rules and multiplier lists and level out
the playing field.

However, *you* are lacking the possibility to correctly track multipliers 
during the contest when you are using old, outdated software.

Good luck in the RTTY contest anyway!
