        Neat. We may imagine also logs that are opened in read-only mode.

        untested here yet, cf compile problem.

        Just an idea: Maybe a search could lead to the creation of a new
        log? i.e. a new log notebook would be created and filled in with
        the result of the search.
        Another idea about search: use regex when searching.
        This way, you can search for '^N', ie. any call starting with 'N'.


This week-end, I've talked about xlog to a friend of mine, who is used to 
contesting and DX expeditions, and only in CW. He told me xlog would be
the ultimate logging software for him if it were able to print labels of
the QSO, to be sticked on QSL cards.
I never tried the Print function (no printer attached to my laptop),
but the label printing may be an interresting feature to be added to the
wishlist.
