Re: [Tlf-devel] Handling of SECTION_MULT?

[David Quental]

Hello all,

during weekend I was in HADX contest using pgr YFKtest, it scored  
quite fine despite I did few qso's.

I would suggest something a bit different, but first sorry for my  
ignorance about C and Perl languages. I would suggest answer c) but  
using another view, if possible of course.
As far as I see TLF is handling quite fine with logging, with rigcat  
and now with winkey (since we have winkey server from OK2CQR), the  
main problem resides in contest rules unlike YFKtest.
Could be possible to create a contest module that reads information  
from Perl files used by YFKtest??
Again, I am not wise about C or Perl languages so sorry for anything  
wrong from me.
