[TRLog] TR Log - Version 6.59

[Tree N6TR]

Version 6.59 has been sent to the update list.

             Release notes for TR Logging Program - Version 6.59
                               19 August 2001


Version 6.59 - 19 August 2001

 - When receiving a RST and SERIAL number exchange, you can increment
   a serial number in the exchange window by pressing I (for increment).

 - Fixed up SCP COUNTRY STRING functionality.  Only put the ! at the
   first character position if you want to exclude countries.  Use a
   comma between each country listed.  Spaces are optional.  For
   example:  K, VE, KP2, KP4, KH6, KL will include those six countries.
   !JA, K, VE  will exclude those three countries.

 - Fixed OnDeckCall after doing a CQ on the inactive radio, so that
   it comes out on the right radio.  OnDeckCall is a callsign that
   is entered in the exchange window with a / in front of it.  When
   this is done, the callsign will be put into the call window when
   you log the QSO.  You will have to hit ENTER again to call the
   this station.

 - Made Control-Enter when finsihing a two radio QSO not send CW.
   Instead, a CQ will be launched on the run radio.

 - Re-enabled digital mode in Cabrillo file.

 - Included the NAQP.DOM file that disappeared in the past couple of
   releases.

 - Allowed control characters in RTTY SEND and RECEIVE command by
   putting <> around two character hex value (i.e., <3F><FB><03> ).

 - Allow control characters to be specified for function key memories
   in the config file (using the above syntax).  These will not work
   if you use the Alt-P command.

 - Removed auto restart of auto CQ after a CQ mode QSO.  I should have
   trusted my original instints about this and never have put it in.

 - Fixed FQP exchange for RST and QTH.

Version 6.58 - 24 April 2001

 - Removed RTTY SEND CHARACTER and RTTY RECEIVE CHARACTER.  Replaced
   with RTTY SEND STRING and RTTY RECEIVE STRING.

 - Added FLORIDA QSO PARTY (or just FQP).

 - Changed GetLogEntryQSONumber to allow 5 digit QSO Numbers.  This fixes
   POST functions on logs >= 10K QSOs.

 - Improved responsiveness of footswitch for non PTT commands when using
   interfaced radios.

 - START SENDING NOW KEY = SPACE is fixed.

Version 6.57 - 11 March 2001

 - Fixed on deck call (\N6TR) being sent on speaker.

 - Fixed ARRL 160 setup if you were in Hawaii/Alaska or US possession.

 - Added new LOGCFG command - COUNT DOMESTIC COUNTRIES.  Default is
   FALSE.  Lets you count DX countries for domestic QSOs in addition
   to the domestic multiplier.

 - Fixed up Russian DX contest QSO points, added CE9 as a domestic
   country and fixed initial exchange so it is blank for non russians.
   Also, made sure domestic countries count along with the oblast.

 - Added UBA Contest and QSO Point method.

 - Added CQ WPX RTTY contest - and CQ WPX RTTY QSO point method.

 - Improved immunity of Cabrillo generator to non QSO entries (like
   headers).

 - Fixed LOG WITH SINGLE ENTER config command problem (always on).

 - Made AutoCQs resume automatically after QSO.

 - Fixed PE (Prince Edward Island) in domestic files that have Canada.

Version 6.56 - 1 December 2000

 - Fixed POST not doing dupe check.

 - Fixed runtime 204 with invalid input for frequency.

 - Doubled length of DVK start pulse.

 - Fixed FT100 frequency reading and split operation.

Version 6.55 - 14 November 2000

 - Allowed Alt-D command to be process after entering a callsign
   and AUTO CALL TERMINATE.  However, the CQ EXCHANGE won't be sent
   until the Alt-D window is closed.  However, at least now you won't
   be entering the callsign into the call window.

 - Added DUPE SHEET ENABLE (Control-J - True).  When FALSE disables
   the addition of calls to the dupesheet.  This might be used if
   you don't care about working dupes and want to conserve memory.

 - When entering an exchange while making a second radio QSO with the
   Alt-D function, you may now enter a callsign of a station who is
   answering your "dummy" CQ.  You can enter it in the exchange window
   by putting a / in the front of the call (i.e., 12A 67NTX /N6TR).
   When you do this - there will be no CQ called at the end of the
   QSO and N6TR will be put into the call window ready for you to
   answer by pressing RETURN.

 - Control-] gives a new info screen.  This shows the time on
   distribution by band in minutes and percent.  It also shows
   you QSO distribution for Europe, NA and Asia by band with
   percent.  This is called the CT1BOH info screen since it was
   his idea.

 - New RESTART.BIN version number.  This eliminates any risk of
   program crashes as a result of starting the program up with
   an older .RST file.

 - Fixed blinking band map display when two interfaced radios are
   on different modes.

 - Added display of the band/mode of the bandmap.

 - When sending a command to the radio in a CW message - along with
   a CW message - some radios (Kenwood) will ignore the command when
   sending CW.  The program will now send the command - waiting for
   it to be processed by the radio, and then send the CW.

 - If you put a command in a message (using Control-C and Control-D),
   the program would hang if you forgot the Control-D.  This has been
   fixed so the command will just be ignored and the program won't
   hang.

 - Added SRSI to SRS commands to send inactive radio to chosen frequency.

 - Fixed TenTen for custom initial exchanges and user info.

Version 6.54 - 26 October 2000

 - Fixed POST DAT file merge procedure.

 - Fixed PTT TURN ON DELAY just before sending exchange with auto start
   send/terminate.

Version 6.53 - 3 October 2000

 - Added CQ WW RTTY contest and CQ WW RTTY QSO POINT METHOD

 - Updated VK/ZL contest.

 - Changed Salmon Run QSO Point Method to 4 CW and 2 SSB.

 - Added ALWAYS CALL BLIND CQ (default = FALSE, Control-J).  Will launch
   exchange memory F7 automatically on CW when the CQ EXCHANGE is finished.

 - Made CALLSIGN UPDATE ENABLE work when using @ in exchange.

 - Added NU to ARRL DX contest for DX stations.

 - Changed NO to NG in HUNGARY.DOM

 - Fixed "C" and "N" to resend call and number in WAE when using
   QTC EXTRA SPACE.

 - Made "UP" case insensitive when in the CALL WINDOW POSITION command.

 - Fixed PACKET SPOT KEY in config file.

 - Made START SENDING NOW KEY = SPACE only work when in the call window
   with at least one letter in the window.

 - Improved NAQP VE mults.

Version 6.52 - Released on 3 August 2000.

 - Added PACKET SPOT KEY (default = `).  This key is used to automatically
   send the call in the call window, or the last call worked to the packet
   network.  The key used to be hardwired as `, but can now be changed if
   you don't have that key on your keyboard.

 - Allowed SPACE for START SENDING NOW KEY command.  It was requested
   to be able to start sending CW with the SPACE BAR.  This will now
   be possible by putting START SENDING NOW KEY = SPACE in your config
   file.

 - Added PACKET SPOT DISABLE (false, Control-J).  When TRUE, the
   packet spot key will not work.

 - Added ability to program delay into DVK messages.  Use Control-C
   followed by DVKDELAY=xxxx and then Control-D in the message.
   xxxx is the number of milliseconds to delay.  You can program
   a Control-C when using the Alt-D message editor by pressing
   Control-P first and then Control-C.

 - Fixed up UKRAINIAN contest:
     - Now appears on contest menu.
     - Uses RST QSO NUMBER OR DOMESTIC QTC exchange.
     - Countes CQDXCC countries
     - Puts UR in as a domestic country.

 - Allowed 00 for Zone exchange in EU contest.  Fixed up remaining
   multiplier list to start at zero.


Version 6.51 - Released on 1 August 2000.

 - When TAB MODE = CONTROLF, I also made Shift-Tab work as Control-A.
   This will make Shift-Tab move you to the next field to the left.

 - Added OHIO QSO PARTY.  Make sure MY STATE = OH before your contest
   statement in the LOGCFG.DAT file to make it work for Ohio stations.

 - Added AP SPRINT contest (Asia-Pacific Sprint).

 - Made the ITU Zone default for VE2 zone 4 (it was zone 9).

 - Updated VE multiplier names in most of the .DOM files.  The actual
   names are used instead of prefixes.

 - Added CALL WINDOW POSITION (NORMAL or UP).  The defaul it NORMAL.
   There is no Control-J support for this command.  It will move the
   call window and the information to the left of it up one line.  It
   also changes the color of the call window to match the editable
   window.  This makes the band/mode/date/time/QSO number and Call
   Window look like they are part of the editable log window.

 - Exit editable log edit with you press the down-arrow key while at
   the bottom entry.  Don't forget about the CONFIRM EDIT CHANGES
   command if you want to exit without the Save Changes prompt.

 - Made default RST work for RSTAndPostalCode exchange (ROPOCCO test).
   It was being left blank unless you entered it into the exchange
   window.

 - Added LOG WITH SINGLE ENTER command (control-J - false).  This will
   act just as if you pressed RETURN to answer a station and then
   Control-Enter to log the station instantly without sending the
   QSL MESSAGE.

 - Fixed wrong IARU zone default for MyZone.


Version 6.50 - Released on 4 June 2000.

 - Fixed up Cabrillo for WPX and other contests.

 - Updated All Asian with new QSO point structure.

 - Made some refinements to the procedure to add a call to the band map
   to try and eliminate some run time #204 failures seen in the WPX
   contest by several stations.  This isn't guaranteed to fix the problem
   since I wasn't able to reproduce it.

 - Fixed some calls disappearing from call window when hitting RETURN.
   This was because I had left a debug message in the code that was added
   when working on some SCP issues - probably in 6.48.

 - Fixed Band/mode remaining mult window format when mult by mode.

 - Fixed ASK FOR FREQUENCIES with no input from crashing program.


Version 6.49 - Released on 2 May 2000

 - Fixed garbage when deleting last entry in band map.

 - Fixed ARRL DX Cabrillo routine to support DX stations and multi two.

 - Fixed dupes in possible calls from SCP.

 - Fixed runtime error 201 at end of POST UEA or UEFF.

 - Fixed dupes showing up in possible calls from SCP (broken in 6.48).

 - Fixed RT 201 at end of POST UEA or UEFF (broken in 6.48).

 - Improved the LocateCall procedure to instantly process the same call
   if it was the last call processed.  This results in faster performance
   during the logging process as this routine is called several times.

Version 6.48 - Released 17 February 2000.

 - Fixed Cabrillo format for Sprint.

 - Fixed Icom bugs in LOGK1EA.  There were two problems - one that prevent
   most of the radios from working at all.  Data could be sent to the radio
   but not received.  Some newer radios might have worked okay - but
   possibly with wrong mode information.

 - Tried to improve operation when operating split with the band map.

 - Added WestCentralFlorida section (WCF) to ARRL sections.

 - Fixed runtime error 204 at 0CB9:017B (in SCP routine).  This was
   never in a released version.

 - Added load of country file when doing log prompt so the country stuff
   gets initialized okay.  This was causing problems for some contests
   where the QSO point method wouldn't work right until you restarted
   the program.

 - Updated TenTenQSO Point Method.

 - More memory conserving techniques - frees up about 27K.

 - New TRMASTER stuff to fix dupes and allow lots more calls in POST.
   Most, or all, reported issues with adding files to the database
   should be resolved by this.

Version 6.47 - Released 13 January 2000.

 - Added NAQP.DOM for the NAQP contest which includes VY0.

 - Improved the operation of the Base64 decoder (TR B64DECODE).

 - Fixed Cabrillo format for putting space after number sent in SS.  The
   Cabrillo format is still not totally implemented for contests other
   than the SS and CQ WW.  I will be getting to more for the next release.

 - Big changes to the bandmap.  Separate bandmaps are now stored for each
   band and mode.  This means a call can appear on more than one band/mode
   at a time.  New commands to support this include:

   BAND MAP ALL BANDS and BAND MAP ALL MODES (both in Control-J) to allow
   you to view all bands - or both modes - on one band map.  The default
   value is FALSE.

   BAND MAP CUTOFF FREQUENCY - used to set the CW/SSB transition frequency
   for a band.  The defaults are shown below.  The program will figure out
   the right band based upon the frequency you input (in Hertz).

    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band160] :=   1840000;
    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band80]  :=   3700000;
    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band40]  :=   7100000;
    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band30]  :=  10150000;
    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band20]  :=  14100000;
    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band17]  :=  18110000;
    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band15]  :=  21200000;
    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band12]  :=  24930000;
    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band10]  :=  28300000;
    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band6]   :=  50100000;
    BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band2]   := 144200000;

 - Added NEXTBANDMAP CW function key command.  This will advance you to
   the next non dupe entry in bandmap.  Also added as a footswitch mode.

 - Added CW GRANT footswitch mode.  When starting to send CW, the PTT
   signal will be asserted, but CW won't be sent until the footswitch
   input is asserted (grounded).

 - Added digital filter for Icom frequency reading.  This is an attempt
   to eliminate the problems with missing band information.

 - Fixed multi/network crash by increasing stack size to 24500.  This may
   also result in more stable operation even when not using the multi
   network and packet.

 - Removed LOGDUPE and LOGSTUFF from overlays.  Reduced overlay buffer to
   100K.  This was done to try an improve some of the slow responses.

 - Totally reworked bandmap stuff - increased speed - reduce memory used.

 - Added BAND MAP DUPE DISPLAY to the config file commands.

 - Removed AutoStartSend arrow showing up after Control-J in S&P mode.

 - Made MULTI INFO MESSAGE changed in Control-J be sent right away.


Version 6.46 - Released 24 November 1999

 - Implemented new packet unit - improved QSX parsing.

 - Changed .CAB Cabrillo file extension to .CBR.

 - Improved Alt-T to allow input of seconds.

 - Increased the size of the overlay buffer.  This will result in
   slightly less free memory, but reduce the amount of activity of
   overlays being loaded.  On some slower machines - the new setting
   was too aggressive and resulted in poor performance.  This might
   also be the fix for some of the packet/netowrk issues seen by some.

 - Fixed floppy error message not displayed long enough to see it.

 - Tried to fixed Icom radios sometimes showing NON for the band due
   to missing byte in communication.  However, I am not sure I have
   really fixed anything yet.

 - Added PACKETINPUTFILE startup command.  Next parameter is filename
   of ASCII file to process.  Spots will be loaded in from the file
   two per second.  They will be passed around to the network just as
   if they were received from a TNC.  There is also a file PACKET.ZIP
   included with the program with one month's worth of data to play
   with.  The format for the file is the same as the generated when
   using the PACKET LOG FILENAME command.

 - Fixed JIDX summary sheet not showing multipliers.

 - Sometimes notes entered into the log would be processed for partial
   call and initial exchange data.  This would result in some strange
   entries into the partial/possible call list.  This has been fixed.

 - Fixed delay when starting a CW message with ALL CW MESSAGES CHAINABLE.
   Before - a space character would always be added to the start of the
   message.  This now only happens if CW is still being sent.

 - Fixed TWO RADIO MODE getting confused if you hit ESCAPE while
   the program is calling the station you did Alt-D on.  Before,
   if you pressed ESCAPE before the program finished calling the
   station (i.e., "DE W5WMU") - the two radio state machine would
   be in the wrong state.  Also, note that the SPRINT QSY MODE
   is not to be used in SS with TWO RADIO MODE.  It will result
   in the QSO not being cleared out properly.

 - Moved display with AUTO DISPLAY DUPE QSO to after CW starts up.
   This removes a small delay that might happend before the QSO
   BEFORE message is sent.

 - Removed a blank line in the Control-J menu before the TAB MODE entry.
   Also - fixed the RADIO TWO TRACKING ENABLE DISPLAY entry to show the
   correct data.

 - Fixed the RADIO ONE TYPE command so it will accept lower case entries.

Version 6.45 - Released 24 October 1999?

 - POST Q C would sometimes ignore you if you wanted to process names.
   It should be more reliable now.

 - POST U E S (sort TRMASTER file) will remove dupes from the file.  Data
   will all be merged into one record.

 - POST U E F V (vanity call update) would not work properly when not
   saving all calls to the the database.  This has been fixed.

 - The TRMASTER.DTA format has been modified so that the JA cell is
   not used.  This should have no impact to the portability of
   MASTER.DTA files to TR.  There is no impact to the operation.
   However, your TRMASTER.DTA file will be a little smaller the
   next time you build it from the ASCII file.

 - Improved error detection in the case of file read errors with
   TRMASTER.DTA.

 - Fixed U E F F for non TR logs and no data (just callsigns).  It
   was totally broken in this mode.

 - Added HEXCONVERT startup command.  Convert either Hex to Decimal or
   Decimal to Hex.  Enter hex values with an H at the end of them.

 - Fixed bug with SS start up information not being saved to config file.

 - Made ] send last RST even after QSO is logged.

 - Added initial attempt at Cabrillo format for SS and CQ WW.  Still some
   improvements to be made.  There will probably be a better attempt
   made in the next release - but what is there should work for the
   CQ contest.  It can be found in the main menu of POST.

 - Added SWAP RADIO RELAY SENSE to allow the polarity of the radio control
   relay to be reversed.  It is available on the Control-J menu and the
   default value is FALSE.

 - Improved GetGrid defaults for YB and BY (Thanks VR2BG).

 - Fixed precedence question for startup for SS.

 - Fixed WAE bugs with QTCQRS and QTC EXTRA SPACE.

 - Fixed packet spots > 2 GHz from crashing program.

 - Fixed FT1000MP acting like FT1000 (1/16th frequency displayed).

 - Added ViewRadioDebug startup command.  Allows you to view the contents
   of a radio.dbg file (created with the startup command radiodebug) using
   the same algorithm that the program would use if it was interfaced to
   the radio.

Version 6.44 - 27 September 1999

 - Fixed Icom radios not displaying frequencies over 100 MHz.

 - Added BAND MAP DUPE DISPLAY (default = TRUE, Control-J).  When FALSE,
   dupes are not shown in the band map.

 - Made STDCFG.DAT commands execute before the .CFG file.  This means
   changes you make to the .CFG file with Control-J will take effect.

 - Added SWAP PACKET SPOT RADIOS (default = FALSE, Control-J) which will
   reverse which radio gets selected when sending a packet spot to a
   specific radio when using the Alt-U command and left or right keys.

 - Changed IC756 to operate like IC781 with respect to setting the narrow
   filter when updating frequency.

 - Fixed mults for OJ0 in SAC contest.

 - Improved default grid calculations for bunch of countries which improves
   the accuracy of sunrise/sunset, distance and beam headings.  Countries
   that now use prefix include CE, CP, EA, EU, HK, JA, K, LU, OA, OH, PY,
   SM, UA, UA9, UK, UN, UR, VE, VK, XE, YV, ZL, ZP and ZS.  UA, UA9, UK, UN
   and UR use full oblasts for even better resolution.

 - Disabled AUTO SEND CHARACTER COUNT feature if the call entered so far
   has / in it.  This keeps it from starting for calls like JA1/WB6ZVC.

 - Fixed REMINDERS and TOTAL SCORE MESSAGES in config file.

 - Attempted to fix bug with band map call sometimes blank in call
   window.  For those of you who have seen this - please let me know
   if I have succeded.

 - Updated SWEEPSTAKES to accept U M and S for precedences.

 - Fixed jerky CW with Keyboard Sending if radio interfaced.

 - Fixed PADDLE BUG ENABLE command in config file.

 - Fixed DIGITAL MODE ENABLE entry into config file when being saved
   from Control-J menu.

 - Made IOTA summary sheet ask if you were at home or DX-pedition.

 - Added UKRAINIAN contest and QSO POINT METHOD = UKRAINIAN.

 - Added BALTIC contest and QSO POINT METHOD = BALTIC.

 - Updated Russian contest - HFC - KVP - CROATIAN contests.

 - Added QTC QRS (Control-J - True) will slow down QTCs being sent.

 - Added QTC EXTRA SPACE (Control-J - True) will add extra spaces to
   QTCs being sent.

 - Made ESCAPE KEY abort sending of "QTC?" message.

 - Made ControlEnter and AltK key work when receiving QTCs.

 - Allowed cursor keys to edit QTC received message.  Also, INSERT and
   the cursor control keys (ControlA, S, D, F, G and T).

 - Fixed sending QTCs to a station that is contained in the QTC.

Version 6.43 released on 18 August 1999.

 - Updated HFC contest and improved defaults.

 - Made Domestic mult status from initial exchange use last entry first.

 - Fixed SENDCW command.

 - Fixed ARRL FD exchanges coming from TRMASTER when using simulator.

 - TUNE FOR DITS (control-J false).  Sends dits at 75 WPM when left shift
   and control keys depressed.

 - Fixed floppy save crashing.  Under certain amounts of available memory,
   an amount of memory exceeding the amount available was attempted to be
   secured.  This resulted in an IO error, which would result in either a
   program crash or strange behavior.

 - Reworked much of the memory stuff in LogSCP.  I did find one or two
   things that might have been risky and could explain some of the
   flaky operation people have seen when using the TRMASTER.DTA file.

 - Improved memory usage of TR by using more overlays.  I believe I
   have saved 30K without affecting program performance.  If you notice
   some slower operation, please let me know.

 - Fixed POST not allowing you to specify log name if no .CFG files.


Version 6.42 released on 5 July 1999.

 - Undid problem with IARU and countries created in 6.30.

 - Fixed cursor in wrong window after sending keyboard CW.

 - Fixed QUESTION MARK CHARACTER and SLASH MARK CHARACTER to work
   even if USE BIOS KEY CALLS = TRUE.

 - Made REGION ONE FIELD DAY /m stations count as /p stations.

 - Made initial exchanges for FD come up using MY FD CLASS and MY SECTION.

 - Fixed FT100 frequency display.

Version 6.41 - Released on 7 June 1999.

 - Added KIDS DAY contest.  Simply logs whatever you put into the
   exchange window.  Added KIDS exchange received.  This is probably
   a useful thing for other applications as well.

 - Added USE BIOS KEY CALLS - (default = TRUE, Control-J).  In order to
   use the F11 and F12 keys, TR had to interface directly to the hardware
   because many older BIOS programs didn't know about these keys.

   However, this makes it impossible to use other TSR program with TR.

   TR will now use BIOS calls as a default.  If your BIOS doesn't support
   F11 and F12, you can go back to the old method by setting USE BIOS KEY
   CALLS = FALSE.

 - Made many TRMASTER improvements.  Found some minor bugs that probably
   explain some of the crashing some of you have noticed.  I also
   improved the memory management so that less memory is used for
   smaller databases.  This will result in very "random" memory
   available displays, but unless you are using a monster database,
   there should be more memory free than before.

 - Fixed bug with POST U E F D (merge two .DTA files).  I have now used
   this to combine two very large databases.  It does take awhile to do,
   but it does work.

 - Fixed POST U S (generate summary of restart file) command to work with
   new filename standard.

 - Made POST U E F F (load data into TRMASTER from ASCII file) to process
   up to 10 different data items at once.

 - Made POST less memory hungry.

 - Added single line display buffer for unsent characters when using the
   keyboard send feature.  You can use the delete or backspace character
   to correct typing mistakes before the code goes out on the air.

 - Allow HELLO.DAT in same directory as other files (CTY.DAT).

 - Fixed QUICK QSL KEY 2 command (was setting value for KEY 1).  The
   QUICK QSL KEY 2 is normally the equal sign and it sends the
   QUICK QSL MESSAGE 2 (default is dit-dit).  This gives you an
   additional way to end CQ QSOs.  This was a previously undocumented
   feature.

 - Made Control-U use call in exchange window string if CALLSIGN UPDATE
   ENABLE is enabled.  Before, the program would use the call in the
   call window.


Version 6.40 - Released on 7 May 1999

 - Improved showing of beam headings grids during entering them in the
   exchange window.  Also when coming from TRMASTER as initial exchange.

 - Made initial exchanges from TRMASTER that are DomesticQTHs show their
   mult status when coming up in the exchange window.

 - Allowed TR to be started up with the prefix of a config file specified
   which will automatically start that contest up (no selection screen).

 - Fixed sent RST not being used with TR READ.

 - Made /P calls not drop the /P when doing lookups in TRMASTER except
   for name or FOC numbers.

 - Fixed IS0 with wrong QSO points and exchange in ARI test.

 - Fixed NAME FLAG ENABLE not working (name flag was always enabled).

 - Fixed VE0 in RAC contest so it takes a serial number, but still counts
   for 10 points.

 - Created P13.DOM with VY0 added for RAC contest.

 - Added ROTATOR PORT and ROTATOR TYPE (= DCU1 or ORION).  The ORION PORT
   command is still supported.  Use Control-P to send the rotator to
   the last displayed beam heading.

 - Added FT100 to radio list.  However, I am not sure there was any
   difference between this and the FT920 setting.  Let me know if it
   has any issues.

 - Fixed USER 4 and USER 5 overwrite change commands in POST.  They were
   affecting USER 3 status instead.

 - Added BAND MAP DECAY TIME (control-J, default = 60) in minutes.  Note
   this applies to entries as they are added to the band map.  Entries
   made with a different value will still decay with their old time.

 - Added RST PREFECTURE as legal value for EXCHANGE RECEIVED.  This is
   used for the JA INTERNATIONAL DX contest.  Note that the QTHs will
   show up with a "p" in front of them when shown as multipliers.

 - Changed prefecture multipliers for JA INTERNATIONAL DX contest to
   domestic multipliers similar to ALL JA contest.  Improved visability
   of remaining mults during QSO process.

 - Allowed six digit grid squares to be entered instead of four, but
   still use four digits for the mult.

 - Added PACKET LOG FILENAME command (control-J).  When set to a filename,
   all packet spots received will be saved to this file.

 - Fixed RANDOM CQ MODE messing up the Control-J menu.

 - Change DKT in OKOM.DOM to DKL.

 - Updated intial CQ EXCHANGE for ROPOCO contest to 5NN ).  Eliminated
   postal code form start up questions.  Added ROPOCO.DOM file and enabled
   domestic multipliers.

 - Added EUROPEAN SPRINT contest.  Added EUROPEAN SPRINT as legal QSO
   POINT METHOD.  Added QSO NUMBER AND NAME as legal EXCHANGE RECEIVED.

 - Added AUTO RETURN TO CQ MODE (Control-J - default = TRUE).  When TRUE
   and you press the RETURN key in S&P mode - with the cursor in the call
   window AND no information in the call or exchange windows - you will
   be put into the CQ mode and CQ MESSAGE F1 will be initiated.

 - Fixed All Asian and All JA entries in log prompt.

 - Many improvements to the All JA contest (previously released only in
   Japan two weeks ago).

 - Eliminated prefectures 115 to 118 in All JA.

 - Pretty much gave up on Aurora stuff RSTs.

 - Fixed sent RST not working when using [ character in exchange.

 - Fixed LOOK FOR RST SENT not showing up in Control-J menu.

 - Added Alt-N option for sending Control-J parameter to network.  This
   will send the hilighted Control-J paramter to all of the computers
   on the network.  The change will also be added to the config file
   so that it will still be there if the program is restarted.

 - Fixed missing exchange for MICH QSO PARTY outside of MI.

 - Released a special 6.39 to Tack with All JA improvements including
   remaining display, made precedence H/M/L/P and added prefectures 48-50.

Version 6.39 released on 16-Apr-99.

 - Updated IOTA QSO Point method to new rules.  You get 15 points for
   working an IOTA other than your own.  Otherwise, you get 3 points.

 - Attempted to fix crash with big packet frequencies greater than 1 GHz.

 - Made ZZ00 not be accepted as a legal grid square in exchanges.

 - Made notes in LOGCFG file that start with ; require space before the ;.
   This fixes problems with having ; enbeded in a string that might be
   sent to a radio (like Kenwoods).

 - Fixed garbage in call window when using the Control-B command with
   Auto-CQ active.

 - Fixed turning on of DVP in Control-J.  Made DVP ON disappear when
   turning off DVP from Control-J.

 - Made PTT HOLD COUNT of 0 not "hang" PTT.

 - Removed RST ALL JA PREFECTURE AND POWER exchange and replaced it
   with RST ALL JA PREFECTURE AND PRECEDENCE exchange since the ALL JA
   contest now uses a single letter (H, M, L or P) to identify power.

   Allows most any order for exchange information, but no duplication
   of entry data allowed.  57923C will work as well (RST 579, Pref = 23
   and power = C).  On CW, 23 579 C will also work, but on SSB, it won't.

 - Fixed summary sheet not coming up for Russian contest.

 - Added ask for your state if selecting any of the QSO parties from menu.

 - Added MIGHIGAN QSO PARTY (OR MICH QSO PARTY).  Make sure to either
   run TR NEW and answer if you are in MICH - or put MY STATE = MI
   in the LOGCFG.DAT file BEFORE your CONTEST statement if you are in
   Michigan.

 - Changed MQP to MN QSO PARTY (to avoid confusion with MICH QSO PARTY).

 - Updated SP DX contest for non SP stations.  Added SP.DOM.

 - Added LOOK FOR RST SENT (false - Control-J).  Allows sent RST to be
   entered with S prefix in exchange field.  Works with RS on SSB too.

 - Allowed for aurora RS(T)s on 6 and 2 meters for both sent and received.

 - Added RADIUS OF EARTH parameter (default = 0).  Enter in meters.
   When something is entered, the default internal to the program will
   be overwritten.

 - Fixed bug when trying to set a key (like start sending now) to ;.

Version 6.38 - 16 March 1999.

 - Fixed name of domestic files for Wisconsin QSO Party.

 - Fixed WWL contest multipliers:

    - Grid fields instead of grid squares for mults.
    - MULT BY MODE = FALSE

 - Allowed ESCAPE EXITS SEARCH AND POUNCE in addition to ESCAPE EXITS
   SEARCH AND POUNCE MODE in LOGCFG.DAT file.  This eliminates an
   incompatability with the name Control-J uses when saving this
   command.


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.

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.
