What are you referring to here. I tend to think it is better for CW too,
but marginally.
Yes, the lack of a windows version was the last straw. I am glad I was not
a life subscriber!
If he came out with a windows version that had all of the functionality of
the dos version, well I would reconsider.
I have complained over and over to him that the lack of a windows version
would kill TRLOG and I think it is only a matter of time. Soon there will
be no machines to run it on.
I also realize that it is a HUGE project to port to Windows. It is one that
I cannot blame him for if he does not want to undertake it. It is very
unlikely that he would make enough to justify his time.

Me too, and that from the perspective of a DOS dinosaur!<br><br>
I also migrated concurrently to Writelog, and it is becoming <br>

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