Hi Erwin, let me explain how I setup a contest (but maybe there is a better way).I have a directory called tlf, which is divided into sub-directories which all have a contest name. Below the contest name is the date (in case a contest happens more than once a year) or the year. Once I created the directory structure for the contest which is coming up, I copy all the data from the previous contest. This includes logcfg.dat, the rules file, but also any sections file or exchange file. Then I do a check of all the files, start winkeydaemon, open a terminal with a big font, go into that directory and start tlf.
So for me, number one would be most convenient. I check my files anyway, also after the contest I go into the cabrillo file and do a review.
But I am not very critical, whatever is easiest for you is okay with me. I will adapt ;-)

If present, all the questionswhen exporting to cabrillo can be skipped.a few days ago I reviewed the possibilities, now I'ld like to discuss them here. 1. the most simple way when we add new keywords to the config files, eg. CABRILLO_CONTEST, CABRILLO_CALLSIGN, ... therefore you can use these keywords both in logcfg.dat and contest rule files PRO: easy to make it CON: you have to add the keywords everytime when you prepare a new contest 2. read the new keywords from separated file; there are two sub-solution in this case a. this file could contains only the CABRILLO related options PRO: clear and elegant solution CON: hard to implement, makes the code logic more complicated and horrible b: this fie could any keyword, we just "call it" as "CABRILLO" file PRO: *could* be clear, easy to implement CON: can lead to chaos (user can mix the options and can't see the reason of the different bevaiour) Let's start to discuss :). I prefer 2/b. 73, Ervin HA2OS
