[Ham-Mac] Hallucinations from this side of the Pond!

[Brian Short]

Well, multi-op, multi-transmitter is a subset, obviously.

The inter-computer networking is important to those who do
this type of thing, but any look at the results will show that
the number of entries in this class is fairly small compared
to the single-op or multi-op/single transmitter.

Not that they are not important, but...

Also, Writelog as far as I know does not inter-operate with
TrLog or CT.  CT does not inter-operate with TrLog, etc.

In the past, the networking has been between like "programs"
only, never mind platforms, operating systems, etc.

I don't even know, myself, if the WriteLog has an open protocol
for the networking - the documentation is sparse is some senses
and largely provided by volunteers as far as I can tell.
