Larry,

I'm not sure of my TR version.  However, I took out a dupe QSO by hand, 
then recalculated my score using the mult bonuses and the score originally 
calculated by TR was correct.

I sent in my log to DARC in Cabrillo format and received a robot answer 
saying everything is OK.  I actually sent the log, plus the TR file of 
QTCs, plus the summary sheet.  The DARC website says "We can read most of 
the popular file formats."  I think that would include Cabrillo.

I'll let you know if I hear anything further from DARC.

73,

Jay/K4OGG
