If you use the accelerator keys you get close to the TRLOG S&P and CQ 
functions.
For everything else, WriteLog is much better in my opinion and it has a 
module for WWSSB.
If you are going to use spotting then you can't beat the spotting window.
If you record your messages and letters (AND TRIM THEM WITH AN EDITOR) then 
you can do the whole contest without losing your voice. You would never 
have to speak a word if you did not want to.

All this and your other programs can run together. I think TRLOG is or soon 
will be a dead program.
It MAY be better for CW, not sure yet. OTOH on my system WriteLog seems to 
do CW VERY well.
