I agree - but I don't know, if somebody wants to use the Tlf at
this weekend, how does it trust me/us, before it could try the
full version? :)

QTC's (sent and received) stored in two separated files. If you
set up the waedc as contest, Tlf will generate them. If you send
or receive maximum 10 QTC to/from a station, it will be stored in
QTC_send.log or QTC_recv.log, in a _very_ simple form.

Yesterday I looked up the writecabrillo.c, and I saw Tlf use
cabrillo.frm. I didn't find any format standard for QTC, which
contains length of fields - I think the nice solution should be
we make a QTC format in cabrillo.frm, and writecabrillo.c uses
that. The short (and not an elegant) solution is skip the use of
formula, and just merge as "raw" formula.
