@Marcin: this task was on my list, but not in that form as you
descibed.

@Thomas: I don't remember that discussion that you mentioned, and
after a quick search I was not able to find it. But it could be
my fault. Nevermind.

I can imagine a feature when the operator can import the log into
the database. The key fields are: date-time-band-mode-callsign,
in case if you want to store all QSO's in same table. If you want
to store the logs in separated tables, then you can use the
serial.

@Marcin:
I have some working code, which parses the logs and builds a db
structure in memory. If that's help you, I can share with you
somewhere. I think that would be a usefull feature, and can be
optional part of Tlf (eg. create a "configure" argument before
user compiles Tlf).


Any ideas?
