The SCP files can be stored anywhere. In the WriteLog Setup/SCP window you
can specify any arbitrary location. My person preference is to store the
SCP file in each unique contest directory that I set up. That way I
archive the exact SCP used with that contest. Never had a need for using
the archive, but its there.
I would gladly switch to C:\ProgramData\WriteLog if I could depend on the
latest SCP being downloaded, like it works with cty.dat. As long as Wayne
is manually in the update loop, that is just not dependable. (No criticism
of Wayne, but that is a poor model for updates and I'd much rather he spend
time enhancing WriteLog than doing mundane admin tasks like this.) I
wonder if Wayne and Stu K6TU can work out an automatic upload from the SCP
website, as Wayne and Jim AC1C did for cty.dat?
