[Trlog] Realtime scoring for TRLog!

[Ron Rossi]

Folks,

This is a pre-announcement of relatively simple Realtime Score Posting 
for TRLog. I expect to be testing the interface during SS SSB this 
weekend. If it can be made generally available by then I will post 
another message.

Gerry, W1VE, with very gentle prodding has created a very nice 
"universal" Realtime score posting GUI (graphical user interface). In 
support of that I have created a program to generate an ASCII summary 
from LOG.DAT and LOGCFG.DAT. The program is called RTScore.exe. Gerry's 
GUI runs a script automatically and then the summary is processed and 
uploaded to the Realtime scores website www.Getscores.ORG.

There is great flexibility in how Gerry has engineered this interface. 
The script is fully editable by the user and runs Visual Basic scripting 
language. I have a couple sample scripts which require very little 
change by each user. They are well commented to make the job as easy as 
possible.

The "catch" is (there is always a catch) that the computer running the 
GUI must be running Windows XP, Win2000, Vista or the like. There must 
be a connection between the TRLog computer and the GetScores computer 
for this to work. It is common for most folks that are interested in 
posting and watching contest scores for this to be the case. However it 
is probably NOT the case for the average TRLog user.
