Well if you have ever used TR or CT then tlf is right for you. The
command structure is almost identical and with the fldigi/tlf
combination you have a solid contesting app.

I just could not get MMTTY to work right using Wine, so I basically
gave up. Dave's email late Friday and a test version of the interface
of fldigi and tlf early Saturday morning was a real treat.

Hope to see you in the CIS RTTY this weekend.
