[LOGic] CommCat v. LOGic 9?

[J.A. Wolf, MD, K6JW]

I, too, have run CommCat in the past. I converted to it from LOGic for 
awhile because of its focus on DX. Ultimately, though, I found it less 
flexible than LOGic and so I returned to LOGic and have been happy ever 
since. When I "came home" to LOGic, I queried Dennis about creating some of 
the configuration flexibility in the Spot Log that CommCat has, which I 
think is that program's strongest point. Although he he hasn't done it, I 
still think LOGic is the better all-around logging program, even for a DXer 
like me. In many ways, it's more configurable, although I've voiced my 
feeling before on this reflector that it has grown too complex in its 
present form. My recommendation is that LOGic be broken into discrete 
functional modules, making it easier to navigate and configure. Often, I 
feel as though I have to hunt through too many different menus and screens 
to accomplish a given task. A reorganization of the program with a view 
toward making it easier to navigate and configure would therefore be my top 
priority for a new version.
