Release notes for TR Logging Program - Version 6.41
7 June 1999
Version 6.41 - Released on 7 June 1999.
- Added KIDS DAY contest. Simply logs whatever you put into the
exchange window. Added KIDS exchange received. This is probably
a useful thing for other applications as well.
- Added USE BIOS KEY CALLS - (default = TRUE, Control-J). In order to
use the F11 and F12 keys, TR had to interface directly to the hardware
because many older BIOS programs didn't know about these keys.
However, this makes it impossible to use TSR programs with TR.
TR will now use BIOS calls as a default. If your BIOS doesn't support
F11 and F12, you can go back to the old method by setting USE BIOS KEY
CALLS = FALSE.
- Made many TRMASTER improvements. Found some minor bugs that probably
explain some of the crashing some of you have noticed. I also
improved the memory management so that less memory is used for
smaller databases. This will result in "random" memory
available displays, but unless you are using a monster database,
there should be more memory free than before.
- Fixed bug with POST U E F D (merge two .DTA files). I have now used
this to combine two very large databases. It does take awhile to do,
but it does work.
- Fixed POST U S (generate summary of restart file) command to work with
new filename standard.
- Made POST U E F F (load data into TRMASTER from ASCII file) to process
up to 10 different data items at once.
- Made POST less memory hungry.
- Added single line display buffer for unsent characters when using the
keyboard send feature. You can use the delete or backspace character
to correct typing mistakes before the code goes out on the air.
- Allow HELLO.DAT in same directory as other files (CTY.DAT).
- Fixed QUICK QSL KEY 2 command (was setting value for KEY 1). The
QUICK QSL KEY 2 is normally the equal sign and it sends the
QUICK QSL MESSAGE 2 (default is dit-dit). This gives you an
additional way to end CQ QSOs. This was a previously undocumented
feature.
- Made Control-U use call in exchange window string if CALLSIGN UPDATE
ENABLE is enabled. Before, the program would use the call in the
call window.
