Hello!

WriteLog version 10.82 is a free upgrade for anyone who
has purchased the full version of WriteLog since November,
2009.  This excludes the "Newbie" version, which does not
include any free upgrades.  If you are running an earlier
version, go here to purchase a new registration code:
http://writelog.com/ordering

Of special note in this release:
* Enhancements to the GetScores.org support
* GetScores.org Support for ARRL Nov. Sweepstakes

The Universal Score Posting Application can be used in
conjunction with WriteLog to post a snapshot of your scores
during a contest.  Instructions on configuring the tool
for use with WriteLog can be found here:
http://getscores.org/PostingApps/WLPoster.htm

Here is an example of how to use this with ARRL SS.
First, start WriteLog and create a new log for ARRL SS.
When you have the Universal Score Poster running, go to
the "Logging Script" tab.  Press the "load" button.  In
the window that comes up, type in this "magic" string:
        %ALLUSERSPROFILE%
(Does not work on Win98) and then click OK. The file
selector will remain on your screen, but at this point
you will either see a WriteLog directory, or, if not, an
'Application Data' directory that in turn has a WriteLog
directory.  Browse to the WriteLog directory and select
the WL_ARRL_SS.gus file to use this for the upcoming ARRL
November Sweepstakes.  Now you can click the "Run" button
to post a snapshot of your log.  Be sure to first fill in
the fields and select the correct contest in the "Static
Configuration" tab of the W1VE program first.

WriteLog 10.82 includes the following new features/fixes:
* Preserve time/date stamp of created files on File/Update
  Web Data Files.
* Installer no longer creates a browser window to view
  relnotes.htm.
* Moving the keyboard focus while a message transmission is
  waiting for the CALL field to complete (with its red box)
  no longer aborts the remainder of the message.
* Remove erroneous 'Can’t create ASCII output file' message
  from SS contest module.
* Simplify WritelogIARU.gus script for getscores.org. No
  need to wire-in the name of the .wl file.
* Fix the bug that prevents the getscores.org Universal
  Score Poster from posting multiplier totals whose column
  contains lower case letters (like 'Sec' for ARRL SS).
* Add a getscores.org script for ARRL SS.
