[WriteLog] SP RTTY and Cabrillo

[Gary AL9A]

I just followed Don's and Phil's instructions re the SM6SRW contest modules.
Uninstalled the earlier SM6SRW modules with the Windows uninstaller in
Vista, then reinstalled all the modules with the WriteLog Legacy Helper.
All went smoothly, but upon starting a new contest log I cannot find a
module called SP RVG RTTY in the list of installed modules.  I still have
the SPDX RTTY Contest and SPDX Contest (CW and SSB) modules.  I selected
the SPDX RTTY module and imported my adif file last weekends contest.  The
import worked correctly and everything is in the log. Unfortunately when I
go to Export the Cabrillo option is still grayed out and unusable.  The only
thing I did differently was at the end when the list of what had been
installed appeared I selected Cancel instead of the red X box.  I doubt this
made a difference,but I'm guessing here.  Anyone else care to chime in with
and opinion.

73,
Gary AL9A
