[PVRCNC] TR for windows

[Jim Jordan, K4QPL]

Hi Kaz,

Thanks for passing this on. I hadn't heard about it.

Having been a big supporter of TR over the years, if someone had suggested 
this when the only other choice was Writelog, I would have said, "Go for 
it". I think Tree looked seriously about jumping into Windows software but 
decided it wasn't worth the effort.  N1MM which is also free has a big panel 
of contributors and really seems to have gotten it together for contesting, 
both single and SO2R. The only advantage would have been not to have to 
learn new commands. Now that I use MM,  I doubt I'll ever use TR again, but 
if I wanted to, I think I'd just go the DOS partition route and use the real 
thing. Messing with beta versions of old software conversions is probably 
counterproductive for contesting.

More importantly, in viewing the supported commands, it seems it doesn't 
support SO2R, which is where TR originally made its mark and where the DOS 
version is still outstanding. When I discovered that, I changed my mind 
about even installing it.

Recommendation: Thumbs down!

73,

Thanks for the info, though. I found the website interesting but I doubt 
I'll entrust my valuable set up and contesting time to it.

Besides, if one really
