[Elecraft] Yes! EQP-2005 is this weekend

[Toby Deinhardt]

Hi all,

Thought I had found it - thought I had a work around.

The problem appears to lie within the so called EditorGadget in Pure 
Basic. It seems to have problems with large chunks of text and at 
times mixes up its internal pointers. I still loose the log, at times, 
when there are a large number of QSOs. With all the tags, a lot of 
text is created per QSO and it is the toal length of the text which 
the gadget goofs on.

I've posted my newest BETA and sources, which still do NOT work 
correctly with a large number of QSOs, but at least it does not crash 
any more.

Also, and this may also have to do with the EditorGadget, when you 
have say 500 QSOs in the log, the dupe checking becomes very slow. 
Apart from this, the dupe checker is not very smart, i.e. there are 
better, faster ways of doing stuff like this.

To really fix this, I need time to redesign the internal data 
structures. Time which does not exsist.

PS: If there is enough interest, I could do a proper job of this for 
2006.
