SDC (SD for the Comonwealth Contest) is designed specifically for
the Commonwealth Contest alone.  It track all bonuses at all times. If
you don't have this information at your fingertips, in real-time, during
the contest, chances are you're not taking the contest seriously.

I could have tried to support this contest within SD, but it's really
too different, and there would have been too many compromises
involved.

If anyone wants to see how WL, or any other contest logger, should
track bonuses, please download SDC from www.ei5di.com/sd/sdc.zip
and try it.  SDC is a DOS program but, unlike SD, it does not need
any special memory configuration to make it run under any version of
Windows.  With Win 2000 or XP, the only restriction is that parallel
keying is not supported - it does work in Win98.

If you're not registered, you'll be limited to logging 30 QSOs.
