Re: [Tlf-devel] Found it (I think)

At the moment I am finishing the alpha (test) version of Xtlf-1.0.0. (I
only have to do the mults worked display for sections).

Am I right with my impression that the multipliers in this contest are
"sections + countries" ? Where can I find an exact description of the
rules? I may be able to issue a test version before the weekend. 

This upcoming version will do countries and zones (cqww), prefixes
(wpx), sections (pacc), sections + countries (e.g. spdx) and iota (IOTA
islands). Only signle user...

Adif and cabrillo are ready, and config files have been drastically
simplified.

If I can get the rules I may be able to get you going... If it is
sections + countries it will be easy (program the spdx rtty contest and
make a new sections file).

73,

Rein Pa0R.
