Re: [Tlf-devel] Tlf scoring for Stew Perry?

[Mike Waters]

Hello Ervin,

That sounds good!

I found some more C source at http://www.dxzone.com/dx10894/locator.html. It's in the zip file at http://www.dxzone.com/cgi-bin/dir/jump2.cgi?ID=10894 .

I know there are differences in C, such as C++ and C#, and I don't know if any of this code will work or not, or in which tlf source files to insert it before re-compiling.

may be I can help you in this - I otherwise be of interest of
distance calculation based on grid, and extend Tlf to VHF
contests. So, let's do it :)
