[TRLog] Two Contests under Win98

[NR1DX]

I don't know about WIN95 but I just tried this in WIN98 and it appears to 
be possible !!!!

Here's what I did.

1) Set up two seperate  .CFG files one for each contest.
2) Run TRlog from the Desktop  in a DOS window.
3) When the entry screen for TRLog comes up you should see a choice of both 
contests, pick contest #1
4) Once you are in the log screen press <<ALT><TAB>, this takes you back 
out to the desk top in WIN98
5) Click on the TRLog shortcut on the desktop to start the second TRLog session
6) On the startup screen choose contest #2 this time.
7) At this point pressing <ALT><TAB> will toggle you back and forth between 
contests.

I just played around for a bit but didn't find any problems. Even the band 
map transferred and stays updated in both sessions.
One more "feature" for TRLog!

This might be a good way to run two seperate logs for the same contest. 
i.e. where you are doing a single band effort but want to play on the other 
bands during the "off hours". You could set up two differently named .CFG 
files which were otherwise identical, i.e. CQWW40.CFG and CQWWALL.CFG. This 
in turn generates two seperate log files CQWW40.DAT and CQWWALL.DAT.

Cool !
