First off, I am sorry for the missing word in my previous post:

Should have been something more like "figure out how to say this well".

Sure - what is your wife's IP address?  Are there any other commands
you would like to have supported?

Yeah - there is a balance in there somewhere.  Some people don't like
TR because of how it forces you to do things in a certain way.  However,
I continue to try to make it configurable so that you can "have it 
your way".

Adding features like this have helped me move ahead of the industry
standard program, so keep those ideas coming!  Sometimes it takes a
little time for me to warm up to an idea, so don't be frustrated!

S57AD found a bug in my attempt to figure out the province of stations
who don't have QTH's in the TRMASTER file.  I didn't filter the calls
to only do it for VE callsigns!  Thus, if you type a K4 call, it will
come up in Manitoba! 

I have this fixed and can send to any DX station who needs it for the
contest.  Otherwise, I will wait until I have had a chance to fix
the dupesheet problem before making a release.

Please send requests for this version to larrytx@co.intel.com as
that is the machine that has the fixed program on it.
