Gentlemen,
I have used TR for a couple of years, and CT for many more (previously).
This is not meant as a rude complaint, but the lack of user friendliness
when correcting entry mistakes is a real sore spot for TR...
Don't take my word for it, though. Look at the choice of logging
software for the competitors in WRTC last year. I really expected most
of them would use TR because of its high performance aspect, and the
fact that it was already updated/debugged for the contest (CT was
crashing just a week before the event) But that was not the case... I
asked a couple of the competitors why they weren't using TR--the reason
given was "difficulty in error recovery".
If interested, see the WRTC statistics & log summary at www.jzap.com.
This site shows breakdowns, including logging s/w.
As for me? Well, I will be using TR this weekend. However, I do wish it
was a bit easier to correct my (many) errors in real time.
