[Ham-Mac] try again - Question about MacContest (3.5 etc)

[Ted Brattstrom]

Aloha - 

I tried this a couple months ago, and I don't think it made it through 
- so , try again...

Several years ago I used MacContest 3.5 for my contest logging program, 
and it worked well for my single operator needs, and before the advent 
of Cabrillo and ADIF.
Alas - it was System 6 / non-Multifinder compatible only (though I 
haven't tried it under Sys 9 :-) )

Does anyone know:

a> Does it work under sys 9 - or does it crash there too :-(

b> Does MacContest 4.0 work? and is it still available?

c> Any chance of porting it to Sys 9 or OSX?

d> and if I'm dreaming about the port - with a DXpedition mode for all 
the bands (which I think 4.0 had)


(Why this program and not the others - Speed and ease of use in a 
contest - 
eg. Click on band and Mode to start 
- enter call <Ret> 
- enter RST <Ret>

Go to next QSO 
- it has logged and saved the call/rst/date/time/needed serial numbers 
- checked for dupes - updated a running score - and the like.

Minimum keystrokes, minimum hand motions, minimum fuss.)

Any thoughts and information is welcome!
