Version 9.82     6 August 2001

IOTA Contest.
    SDI: Certain combinations of events caused SDI to
    loop when Log on Enter was enabled.  Fixed.

    SDICHECK: For Island stations, the Summary Sheet
    (.SUM) report has been updated to display "bonus"
    multipliers by band and mode, and to include them
    in the claimed score.

    Note:Bonus Multipliers apply for each band/mode
    worked (maximum of 10) when:
     1. You're an Island station.
     2. You have logged 1 or more QSOs on a particular
        band/mode, and you have not logged your own IOTA
        reference on the same band/mode.

    You may download SDICHECK.ZIP (contains SDICHECK.EXE)
    from http://www.ei5di.com/sd/sdicheck.zip (59 kb)

Log On Enter - all programs.
    L (followed) by Enter does the same as LOGONENTER, 
    toggles Log on Enter On and Off. If you're not
    familiar with Log on Enter's effect, it's safer to
    leave it Off.

AUTOCW - all programs.
    The commands CWAUTO, AUTOCW and A (followed by Enter)
    all toggle Auto CW On and Off - A is recommended as
    the fastest option.  You'll know the status of Auto
    CW by the colour of the CW speed display below the
    callsign field - Bright = On, and Dim = Off.

    With Auto CW enabled, a duplicate callsign followed
    by Enter now plays Memory 4 (F4).  If you are happy
    to log dupes, make your F4 memory the same as your
    F2 memory - using Shift_F4.  Otherwise, set F4 to your
    dupe message (with #E as the last parameter).  Press
    Enter, in the empty Serial Received field, to clear
    the logging line.

    Auto CW is more relevant to Run mode, as opposed to
    Search mode.  When you play any keyer memories from
    the Function Keys (F1 - F8) or from the Numeric Keypad
    (1-8 with Num Lock Off), you're assumed to be in
    Search mode and Auto CW is disabled (switched Off).
    When required, switch it on again with the A command.

    AUTOCW from the callsign field stopped the timer.
    Fixed.

Abbreviated Commands.
    Here's a summary of single-letter commands and their
    equivalent - when followed by Enter.

     A  AUTOCW
     C  CW
     D  DOS
     H  HELP
     L  LOGONENTER
     M  MEMO
     S  SSB
     T  TUNE

Partial Check - Suffix. All programs.
     Searches of the form "/3", followed by ".", crashed
     the program.  Fixed.

Seanet Contest:
    SEANET.CTY updated.

SDL - SD for Listeners.
    SDL was freeware, and the last update was V9.65 in
    July 2000. It's now discontinued and has been removed
    from the website.
