TR does have the best around for context sensitive on enter and everything
else. It also is much easier to set up a contest of your choosing. It also
uses master files much more logically, never making call errors like
WriteLog.
These are far superior to WriteLog, BUT , that is the only place TRLOG is
better, not nearly enough. I do not feel at all sorry for giving up on
TRLOG.
That does not mean I do not want WriteLog to correct these things and add a
way to define contests, but still it is better.
