[LogPlus] LogPlus status

[wa8sae at aol.com]

Zoli: I have used LogPlus for about 20 yrs. Versions 3.65(Latest) and  
Version 4.7. Since I collect YL qso's, one thing that I noticed that ver.  4 
does not to do is tally them up when you run the single band  tally. However it 
did when version 4.1 was used. I recently bought Win-EQF and I  am kicking 
the tires but LogPlus is still easier to use. Would like to see  export to 
LoTW/Counting YL's/ and Some of the control features that Win-EQF has.  Hope 
it works out as I still like it very much. Mark N8MZ  ex-WA8SAE

Dear  All,


I always admired the ease-of use and intuitive solutions Bob  has 
implemented in LogPlus! and felt sorry when its development stopped. Last  year I 
asked Bob Winters, Logplus!'s author if he could give me the code to  keep it 
alive for a few faithful users and he generously gave me the entire  code of 
LogPlus!

My first goal is to recompile Logplus V4 to XP. Phase  two will be to get 
rid of a few errors I am aware of. Phase three would be to  implement new 
features. I plan to do Phase I within a few weeks.

If you  have identified errors in the current code, which you find very 
disturbing let  me know, and if they are feasible, I will scope that in into 
Phase 2.  

Scope for Phase 3: 

- telnet interface
- System variables  (system time,port config etc) 
- CAt protocol for newer radios (K3 etc)  maybe via Omnirig module
- ADIF export
- LOTW export
- ADIF 2.x  compatibility (Primary/Secondary subdivision etc) 

I personally do not  do electronic qsling, but if there is demand, I would 
consider adding LOTW  import. 

I will send a note to LogPlus! reflector. I will do this for  fun, all the 
LogPlus! users can get the updates for free. On the other hand it  will be a 
hobby-project to keep LogPlus! alive, meaning no deadlines or  commitments.

I do not have the intention neither to develop it to a  full-blown DX-ing 
suit (bloatware in my books) nor to gain financial benefits  of it. I would 
like to keep it a functional electronic logbook and keep the  concept of 
effectiveness, speed and ease of use Bob developed. 

Your  feedback will be appreciated. 

73!
