I just realized, we can easily add a range for dupe checking,
since we use QSO numbers in the log.

Yes, I am using a call to strstr, which was the quickest way to get
log searching started. In the future, I want to program the use of
wildcards, e.g. n*, n?xyz or *n. This is something for the TODO list.

Isn't that great? I was breaking my head about moving QSO's between logs
and then I found the same thing you are describing. Some problems solve
themselves.... Next thing would be to move QSO's up and down in a log.

I hope so, although sometimes I feel we are still far away from the
ultimate logging program. Just experienced a few crashes with xlog.
