What advancements could Windows (95/97/nt...etc) bring to contest logging
software? Would it be worth the trouble? Would networking be easier/more
reliable? This might be a good topic for discussion.
I use DOS 5 on all my machines, with Win3.11. I never did buy
the 95 upgrade, and to quote a favorite band of mine, "I'm breathing
so I guess I'm still alive". My work gets done.
I too like the "open-ness" of Linux... I it also, and yes, it's a
real operating system. More power than I know what to do with.
CT, NA, TR... any hopes of seeing a Linux port of your software?
