[Tlf-devel] arrl ss

[Rob Vance]

I seem to be having a problem getting tlf to work on the arrl ss 
configuration.

The logcfg.dat files says:

RULES=arrlss
...

The rule file says:

################################################
# The ARRL SWEEPSTAKES contest needs a         #
# multiplier file containing the sections      #
# which are used as a multiplier in the        #
# directory you start tlf from (arrlsections). #
################################################
#
CONTEST=arrl_ss
LOGFILE=ss.log
MULT_LIST=arrlsections
CONTEST_MODE 

<... etc.>

I have included the arrlsections file in the working directory.

When loading tlf -v it appears to load all the above files as well as the 
arrlsections files without a problem.  This problem occurs when I use 
rigcontrol, or not.

Once the program loads I type a callsign, hit enter.  tlf issues a serial 
number, and then the cursor moves to the next field. I type in a section code 
(such as SCV) and hit enter.  tlf responds by asking "section?" in a field 
underneath where I entered the section information.  Then it hangs, and 
eventually delivers a segmentation fault.

I am using 0.9.30 which I loaded from repository via Adept on a Dapper Drake 
Kubuntu system.

I have noticed that the rule file seems very short compared to the list of 
options noted in the man page.  I may have foolishly thought this file was 
ready to go; perhaps I need to complete this file and that's why the program 
is crashing(?).

It's a great program and I am really excited to try it out on SS.  Thanks to 
Rein and the tlf team.
