[Trlog] M/2 and Post Cabrillo file

I reported this problem after last year's contest 
(http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/TRLog/2003-05/msg00002.html) and 
it apparently hasn't yet been fixed.  My solution was to write a simple 
script to merge the information from the incomplete Cabrillo file with the 
original .DAT file.  Perl or other scripting languages can be used to do 
this.

I also tried the logconv program from KA5WSS, which claims to convert TR 
files to Cabrillo, but it assumes single operator and doesn't emit the 
transmitter IDs either.  Suggestions for new features can be made at 
http://www.qsl.net/ka5wss/logconv, but the most recent change was 3 years 
ago so it's unlikely this would get added quickly.
