Me too, and that from the perspective of a DOS dinosaur!

I also migrated concurrently to Writelog, and it is becoming 
harder to revert to TR. Mostly I modify an existing module, and 
massage the log post contest.

There is no question that TR still has the superior 
functionality for CW ( I cannot speak for SSB or RTTY), but my 
8ftx6ft shack is just too small for a separate DOS machine, and 
my 200Mhz Pentium is pretty marginal for running e.g. Logic5 as 
the day to day logging prog. TR also has by far the better 
vendor support, and from a genuine CW contest op, which is *not* 
available in WL.

I therefore believe that it was a disaster when the project to 
port TR to Windows foundered. I hope I am not being too cynical 
in opining that from that very point TR seems to have stagnated, 
and I believe there have been no updates since that time. From 
the p.o.v. of a life subscriber, that is rather disappointing. I 
would certainly urge Tree to try to resurrect the Windows 
project and all of you guys to encourage him so to do.
