Need a little help. Prior to the start of a contest it would be helpful to enter the data for the particular contest into the stx string. I tried to do that,...
Dear Thomas, Many of the data entry fields in MacLoggerDX are not preserved through a program restart. Specifically, the contest data entry fields of stx,srx,...
... Sorry , no. My own plan is to get the computer and rig cranked up about an hour before contest time to get things all setup (it would be very embarrasing...
Colleagues, I have just uploaded an update to Cab-converter to support the Delaware QSO party. After many email messages over the last day or so, I believe I...
I know that every piece of useful software is both a monumental undertaking and a work of art. :-) CC is no exception. Having said that here is an idea to...
That was something that I muted about a year ago, but we are all busy. John's idea has a lot of merit, we do need to produce non-cabrillo formats, since VHF...
Colleagues, First, let me say how impressed I am with the level of support and energy that this very small group has. Wonderful! There have been several...
I'm a systems architect who can program - hmm - not sure about program a Mac, I've never tried that in all the 23 years of using Macs, Im a Unix man - oh, er,...
Seeing as I am full of "ideas to consider" I am in... I don't have RealBasic (yet...) but I could get it and learn it. I can program in many other languages...
And I'm wondering if the name should change (sorry Scott) Apart from the fact that cab-converter suggests it converts cabrillo to something else, which of...
Colleagues, It is extremely unlikely that I would use RealBasic for a next-generation of Cab-converter. While I believe the development system is a great one...
I haven't programmed in a very long time (does batch COBOL man anything any more *smile* ?) but would be glad to be part of the alpha/beta testing team. Jerry ...
Well now, I took a look at REALbasic and thought how easy to is to develop an application, I see why you used it. I don't think it would be harder to produce...
Well, since opinions are cheap, I'll give mine. If cab-converter is going to be a Mac app, why not use objective-C with Apple's free IDE, XCode? Or, just write...
Colleagues, The discussion of implementation platform (Java, Objective-C, C++, RealBasic, C, a GUI-based application, command line application, etc.) should be...
Regardless of language, I really think someone should not have to program to set up a new contest - a lot of people using the Mac do not know how to program -...
... There's a lot to like about Java as a language. It is simple, has well- defined semantics, good perforamnce and typically a robust implementation. It isn't...
I would say, within the Investment Banking industry, Sun pushing Java was a major factor in it's acceptance. ... -- Patience serves as a protection against...
Just thought I'd mention, used Cab-converter for the above and got back: Thank you for your participation in the contest and for submitting your log to...
Damn I did - sorry, I didn't realise there were two The robot appears to have accepted it ... -- The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists....
David, Ah! No problem! Well, I'm glad it was something easy. And, the robot happily consumed your submission so everything worked out. Excellent! I hope you...
I logged the contest as a test of Aether as a light weight contest logger. After the contest I let Aether make the Cab file for submission. When I submitted it...
... I am sorry you are having trouble. I am traveling today but will try to look at the problem later this evening. -- Scott (author of cab-converter)...
Scott, It doesn't seem to be a problem with Cab-converter since I had the same problem with the Aether Cab file. If you would like I can forward the file to...
Hi, Just entered my first contest after 37 years licensed! (The ARRL DX SSB Contest). My claimed score seems strange... as an example here are two Brazilian...
David, One of the things most in need of revamping in Cab-converter is the computation of claimed scores. There is a standard "countries" files used by many...
