[Logic] new prefix

Fri, 28 Nov 2003 23:39:19 -0500

Not the same thing Art...

Yes Logic has begin/end dates for entities and their associated
prefixes... Necessary of course...
But it doesn't have begin/end dates for exception callsigns... In fact
it doesn't really have exception callsigns... It's done with the prefix
entry... Which is filling up pretty quickly for the French
territories...

For example... DX4Win allows an "exception" callsign such as TO4E to be
assigned to the DXCC prefix FR-J with a begin and end date. So TO4E will
only be recognized as FR-J during the period defined by the dates. I
don't see how this is possible in Logic.

Also, since Exceptions are, I assume, a separate table... There is no
limit to how many can be assigned to a Entity.

And Logic doesn't keep track of exceptions automatically...
