[UK-CONTEST] Contest logger comparisons

[Paul O'Kane]

There's a 5-year (to 2010) analyis of contest
loggers used in the IOTA contest at
http://www.ei5di.com/iotastat.html

There are a few things that SD doesn't do,
but what it does do it does nicely, and SO
unassisted users seem to like it.  SD
supports ESM in both Run and S&P modes,
and does not have a CT interface.

SD is futureproof in that PowerBASIC's console
compiler is being continually developed.  It
supports Unicode, and the latest version,
6.01, was released on 14th June.

Microsoft's console window feature is future-
proof, being an integral component of all
versions of Windows.

The free version of SD (V14.26) is available
from http://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/sd.shtml
It dates from April 2009.

The paid-for version is better - V15.43 was
released on 1st June.

They're both worth trying, especially for
anyone who has not considered SD for the last
10 or 15 years.
