[TRLog] Version 6.37

[n6tr@teleport.com]

Thanks for your patience during the past couple of months while I 
have been busy doing the Sweepstakes log checking software.  

             Release notes for TR Logging Program - Version 6.37
                              10 March 1999


Version 6.37 - 11 March 1999.

 - Added ESCAPE EXITS SEARCH AND POUNCE MODE.  The default is FALSE and
   it can be found on the Control-J menu.  If you set it to FALSE, you
   will have to use SHIFT-TAB to go back into the CQ MODE.

 - Added RSGB QSO point method.  This scores zero points for a QSO in
   your own country, 5 points for Europe, 30 for Oceania and 15 for
   the remaining continents.

 - Added NAME FLAG ENABLE.   The default is TRUE and it can be found
   on the Control-J menu.  When FALSE, the asterisks that appear in
   the log when you know the name of a station are disabled.

 - Fixed bug with unwanted CW being sent with QSL BUT NO LOG option.

 - Added - to send 1.5 * dah length.  This might be a cool chracter
   to use for your leading zeros.

 - Fixed summary sheet not working for Croatian and Minnesota QSO Party.

 - Fixed some reports not working because they were always looking
   for LOGCFG.DAT - even if you selected a different log.

 - Added WISCONSIN QSO PARTY (or WQP).

 - Fixed band map cursor position if multi info window is up.

 - Added { character to send complete corrected callsign in call ok
   message.  Before, there wasn't a way to send the complete call
   of the station you just finished working.

 - Fixed null character appearing in multi notes.

 - Tried to fix missing grids from band map updates in Stew Perry.

 - When seeing a menu of log files (when you start TR or POST with
   more than one log file present), you can use the delete key to
   delete or move the highlighted log.

Version 6.36 - Released on 14 December 1998

 - Added new startup command "TR NEW".  This will bring you to the menu
   to select a new contest.  You will also be asked what filename you
   want to save your files under.

 - When starting up TR or POST with more than one config file present in
   the working directory, a menu will be presented allowing you to select
   which set of files you want to use.

 - Added automatic CW exchange generation for ARRL 10.  Assumes you have
   MY QTH or MY STATE setup.  If you are outside W/VE, it does the serial
   number automatically as well.

 - Made MY QTH which acts the same as MY STATE in LOGCFG.DAT.

 - The band map will now update the multiplier status for all band map
   entries when working a new station.

 - Many fixes to WAE QTC routines if you are outside Europe.

   - Fixed bug if you made over 600 QSOs.
   - Allow you to view the QTC.DAT file with Control-L key.
   - Put note in log when a QTC is finished.
   - Improved some keystrokes to make sure accidents don't happen.
   - Fixed bug with improper initialization of QTCs when restarting program.

 - Added way to send a string to radio serial interface ports.   These
   are message commands, so you would program a function key to send
   a message to the radio as follows:

   <control-C>SRS=message<control-D>  - Sends message to active radio.
   <control-C>SRS1=message<control-D> - Sends message to radio 1.
   <control-C>SRS2=message<control-D> - Sends message to radio 2.

   Please see section 4.2 of the manual for more information on how
   to use the control-C and control-D commands in a CW message.

   For example, if you wanted to program a key to make your Kenwood
   radio use the narrow CW filter, you would program the following
   message:

   <control-C>SRS=FL010009;<control-D>

   You would program this by using the Alt-P command to access the
   function key you want to program.  Then press control-P followed
   by control-C to enter the control-C character, then type "SRS=FL010009;",
   then control-P and control-D to finish the command.

   This command can also be used to activate the digital voice keyer on
   some radios.

 - Fixed bug with Alt-=.  If you turned off the CW monitor tone with this
   command while the tone was one, it would stay on.

 - Fixed last total line of POST L C not showing up (band/mode logs).

 - Not allow JA Prefectures > 50 to be entered.

 - Went to European distance for European VHF QSO Point method.  This
   routine gives different distances than the normal routine.  Will
   someone in Europe please confirm if it is working as expected?

 - SCP COUNTRY STRING allows ! or - at start to make it exclude countries
   instead of including them.

 - STDCFG.DAT is a file you can put in the same directory as your
   TR.EXE file and the program will always execute it as if you had
   used INPUT CONFIG FILE for it.  It is executed after all the other
   LOGCFG.DAT commands are processed.

 - Made POST's L P (pull computer ID into log) command process notes.

 - Added computer ID to notes added with Control-N.

 - Made " clear RIT.  This is because on most keyboards, you have to
   press the SHIFT key to get to the " character and it makes the RIT
   move when you probably didn't want it to.

 - Fixed POST's R L from crashing.

Version 6.35 - Released on 2 December 1998

 - Fixed a number of crash possibilities in some of POSTs report
   procedures.

 - Made TR READ keep computer IDs.

 - Allowed for the space character as a computer ID in the POST utility
   that pulls out QSOs made by one computer.

Version 6.34 - Released on 20 November 1998

 - Added MODEM PORT.  This can be used along with the multi port to
   allow connection of a second port over a dedicated modem off a
   second serial port on a computer.  Also, MODEM PORT BAUD RATE.

 - Fixed Control-F1 not working for DVP and DVK program.  Using Control-F1
   to Control-F10 will instantly allow you to re-record DVP or DVK memories
   F1 to F1.

 - Improved DVK and two radio stuff functionality.

 - Changed WPX QSO Point method to give one point for own country
   (regardless of band).  This complies with the new rules coming
   up next year.

Version 6.34 beta - to W6QHS on 17 Nov.

 - Added support for sending exchange in two radio mode with DVK.

 - Fixed Exchange F1 not being sent when pressing RETURN with call in
   call window in search and pounce.

 - Changed LOG FILE NAME command to use SetUpFileNames.
 - Allowed ControlF1-F10 to also program DVK (not just DVP).




Version 6.33 - Released on 12 November 1998

 - Fixed AltD bug - I think.

 - Fixed JIDX so you can enter prefectures 41 to 50.

 - Implemented MY PREC, MY CHECK and MY SECTION as LOGCFG.DAT commands.  If
   you define these before your CONTEST statement, your CW messages will be
   setup the same way I use them at W5WMU.  You will also be prompted for
   them if you select the SWEEPSTAKES contest from the contest menu.  You
   can get to this menu by starting the program in a directory that doesn't
   have a LOGCFG.DAT file in it.

 - Fixed MY POSTAL CODE not being saved to config file upon start up.
   This is used in the ROPOCO contest.

 - Eliminated possibility of INSERT window showing up with country name.

Version 6.32 - Released on 30 October 1998.

 - Created POST U E C to allow clearing out a data field in TRMASTER file.

 - Fixed USER4 and USER5 for USER INFO SHOWN and INITIAL EXCHANGE.

 - Improve startup of ROPOCO contest and created standard CW messages.

 - Added SCP COUNTRY STRING.  Here you can list the countries you would like
   the Super Check Partial feature to display.  If this string is empty, all
   countries will be shown.  If you enter some country ID prefixes, only
   the ones from the countries listed will be displayed.

   For Example, for the Sweepstakes, you might enter this:

   SCP COUNTRY STRING = K, VE, KL7, KH6, KP2, KP4

   You can edit this from the control-J menu.  The initial value is blank.

 - There were some changes to how the Control-J feature stores the
   parameter names.  This shouldn't be noticed when using it.

 - Made IOTA QSO Point method to count 2 points if an IOTA is in my country.

 - When editing the band map a second time, the cursor will now go back to
   last edit position.

 - When accessing an entry on the band map, the QSX and mult flags are still
   displayed.  These flags would disappear when an entry was selected.

 - The band map edit feature was broken when displaying all bands.  This is
   now fixed.

 - Added WAG (Worked All Germany) contest and WAG QSO point method.

 - Made random CQs ignore messages that are blank.  Normally, messages
   from F1 to F4 are used.  But now, ones that are blank will not be used.

 - Updated CTY.DAT file with latest changes.

 - Made ROPOCO test allow space in middle of postal code.

 - When using LastName - if the bottom entry in the editable log window
   is blank, the program will now skip up to the next line with data in it.

 - Made European / Non-Scandinavian QSOs on low bands count 1 point, not 3.

 - Added QSO Point scoring for VK/ZL stations in VK/ZL contest.

 - Improved LastName to accept all numbers in Sprint.

 - Improved contest selection menu to allow you to start entering name.
   This is much quicker than using the arrow keys.  If you mistype, the
   delete key can be used.  This same type of feature has also been added
   to the Control-J menu for quicker access to the parameters.

 - Change TenTen QSO Points to 3 (DX & TenTen), 2 (not DX & TenTen) and
   1 (not TenTen).

 - Made NAQP process QTH while entering into exchange - even with name.
   This fixes a common complaint about not being able to see the multiplier
   need status until you press RETURN.

 - Fixed Chapter working in initial exchanges.

 - Fix for DX entries in Eu Sprint.

Version 6.31 - Released on 7 October, 1998.

 - Fixed RST DOMESTIC QTH to do QSO number correctly if > 2 entries.

 - Fixed DIG showing up instead of SSB in POST routines.

 - Removed old N6TR Duping file generation utility from POST.

 - Eliminated possibility of 0460Z as a sunrise/set time.

 - Fixed up CALQSOW6.DOM so only one CA.

 - Added PADDLE SPEED command (default = 0 & Control-J).

 - Added COAX startup option.  Helps you determine electrical length of
   coax if you have two consecutive low Z frequencies from your SWR meter.

 - Made 10 meter QSOs in VK/ZL worth 3 points (was 2 points).

 - Made ExchangeMemoryEnable control initial exchanges from editable log.
   They were showing up even with EXCHANGE MEMORY ENABLE = FALSE.

 - Made MY STATE get used for initial INTERNET SPRINT exchanges (not ORE).

 - Fixed garbage contest name in contest selection prompt.
