[WriteLog] Can a new DLDC Module be added???

Wed Apr 21 12:50:45 PDT 2010

I hope that Wayne will write an up to date contest module prior to the 
contest.  It's great to see ANARTS come back, even under a different name.

Thanks, Goetz.

PS: Wayne!  Any possibility a new "DLDC" module could be somehow written and 
downloadable before the contest, which is June 12 & 13, 2010?
