    Has anyone been able to get the N3FJP AC log to work on Andy's package?

      Hi Chuck,

      I believe that N3FJP's software is proprietary and thus officially unsupported
      on AHRL.

    Don't forget that N3FJP is also Windows only software. You can make it work using Wine though:

    There are several other Linux native logging programs and man are already in AHRL image including cqrlog, fllog, klog, xlog, etc.

      Thanks Andy,
      Wow, I just got home from Church and fired up the system and it started up as the first time. I lost all I did yesterday. What did I do wrong??

      Thanks Dave, I have tried that, and I keep getting errors with some of those commands, like this needs to be 32 bit, file not found etc...

    I wonder if I would be
    better off loading V21 that supports 32bit

    Going 32bit is going backwards and I would never recommend it. You can add 32bit libraries to any Linux distribution to then support this needed WINE requirement but IMHO, you're just polluting the distro. It seems that AC Log seems to only offer 32bit binaries so it's stuck in in a previous generation of Windows software (as is WriteLog and many other Windows amateur radio programs).

    Anyway.. the choice is yours if you want to go down this deep WINE rabbit hole but before you do, you might want to check out say CQRLog which is already installed in AHRL.
