What it does:
EDI2eQSL converts TACLog "RSGB" EDI-file output into an ADIF format that is suitable for uploading your
contest logs to eQSL.cc. While TACLog itself produces ADIF format EDI output; EDI2eQSL specifically
provides the option to add a free-text "Comment" Field for the eQSL Card. Runs from the command line.
Why?
EDI2eQSL was designed to provides the option to add a free-text "Comment" Field for the eQSL Card.
The 'Colchester (vhf) Contest Group' operate from a number of different sites in our region of SE England
(and sometimes further afield). Consequently we are unable to design an eQSL card which bears a locator.
The "Comment" field on an eQSL card can be filled with any free text and has been utilised to describe the
particular contest that resulted in the QSO and to state - for the receiving station's benefit - the locator
from where the group operated for that particular contest.
Prior to this program, each eQSL was input by hand. A tedious and time consuming process alien to the
concept of electronic QSLing. »IMHO«
The "DOS" executable (below) is a fully operational BETA-1 version of the program - it provides a 'Usage' display if executed with no arguments.
The perl script is BETA-2 level (tidier and quicker, etc) and a release-candidate.
Both are console applications that run from the command line. (Using drag-and-hope <sorry! drop>
it is easy to build path-complex command lines in today's WindowsTM.
The Executable package runs only on Win32 systems and is downloadable from one of the the links below.
The perl script will run on any O/S that has a functional `perl 5` installation.
Feedback is requested. See the Software Registration Form.

I trust that you find it useful.
Tip: EDI2eQSL.EXE MUST be run in a DOS box (W9x, WinNT, W2000, WXP). Run the program with no arguments for 'Usage/Help'.
