[TenTec] Orion II and logging/cluster program

[Ron Castro]

N4PY works very well with the Orion II and also interfaces using the Pegasus 
OLE interface with most programs, including CommCat.  I tried the CommCat 
demo but found it didn't do what I wanted, so I went with LOGic until 
something better comes along.  LOGic also does not interface directly with 
the Orion II but it does work with N4PY with no problem.  Once everything is 
set up, the interface runs very smoothly.

LOGic is more designed to work with TRX Mgr, but TRX does not support the 
Orion II and although it can be 'forced' to work with the Orion II, it does 
so very poorly.
