[Trlog] Resyncing logs in a multi-multi setup

[sm5ajv at chello.se]

Here are my experience in syncing logs, especially from
M/M and M/2 operations.

1. Set up each PC with its own ID letter. This is very 
   important! Otherwise it is very hard to tell which 
   computer logged what.

2. If something gets out of sync during the contest
   it is too time consuming to fix it. Most of the time
   it is better to live with it during the contest and 
   concentrate to make Q's instead of syncing the logs.

3. After the contest use Post to extract a log from
   each PC using its own id letter. Fix all typos etc on each
   seperate log. Merge all the extracted logs into one log
   using Post.
