Tom,
One last thing: Just poking around the N3FJP help file: Looks like
you don't name your contest file and the contest is always stored in
log.txt in the program's folder. That should be the file you want to
move to the other pc and let the program open existing file at start up.
In this case, opening the log.txt file will just open a text file and
not start the program like I am used to in Writelog.
For what it's worth, I ran a few dummy QSO's, closed the program, went
to the default folder and opened the log.txt file with notepad. There
was no text in the file and it showed 0 kb. If I restart the program,
the old qso's are still there, but not sure where they are being saved.
Of course I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and sometimes it saves files
in strange places.
73, Steve KW3A
