I did say something to that effect and although I'm not retracting my statement that
it was being worked on, I regret that I wrote it.

I don't know what WriteLog's plans are about Cabrillo logs for JARTS.  Walt
mentioned that it was February when the initial announcement came out and here it
is 8 months later with no Cabrillo in WriteLog.

After several posts to the WriteLog reflector from others asking about Cabrillo for
JARTS, there were NO responses from WriteLog associates.

Let's HOPE they have an update for us in time.  I'm not going to wait.  I'm going the
WT4I route and edit to make the corrections needed under JARTS specifications,
which by the way, do not conform to the Cabrillo standards.  But that's another thread
in itself.

Let's wait on WriteLog to see what they do.  I thought at first that I would offer my
services to convert logs for WriteLog users, but after seeing there were 407 logs sent
in last year, I wondered how many were WriteLog users.  I have to guess that maybe
half?  That's nearly 200 logs I'd have to convert.  Although it's not that difficult to convert,
I'm not sure I could do it in time for everyone.
