Re: [Tlf-devel] bugs in tlf-1.2.0_pre2

[Martin Kratoska]

Hi Fred,

although I cannot find it (now) in the source code, I suspect the intial 
work of Rein, PA0R, which included some "hardwired" contests. If tlf 
should have any future, it must be cleaned from the remnants of 
hardwired contests, also it must be freely configurable.

The mess can be tracked down in the rule files. Although you define your 
own contest, your rule file still needs to begin with a CONTEST=**** 
directive which has ***PROBABLY*** another meaning than just a contest 
name. If you put there CONTEST=cqww you will get a hardwired 
(predefined) DXCC and CQZ mults. In other hand, you don't need to define 
any mult, the hardwired items are still there.

My sincere apologies if my conclusions are totally false, actually I 
have a mess in my files since tlf 0.9.3 and my programming (un)skills 
preventing me from more thorough research of tlf internals. I hope that 
some day a tlf expert comes with a deep and thorough explanation of the 
tlf mechanics.
