Default Windows software for logging, intened for packet use

Looking for Win98-compatible logging software for use on a P-200MMX Compaq
laptop with a thundering 32MB of RAM. Users wish a lookup function; when a
callsign is entered, they want to see a popup with the name & station
location.

This is intended for packet use (and, yes, will be scrounging for memory
for this Armada 1590). Oh, yes, free would be preferred, since this is for
the county ARES unit.

What do y'all use for logging?

Thank you kindly.

Well I cant specifically help you with the software, but take care to
remove as many other memory hogs before you run it. 32MB is "marginal"
in a W98 environment. You'll be swapping RAM to hard disk if you have
too many apps and TSR's running.

This means no virus scanner or preloaded stuff in the start group or
"run" in the registry. (I wont type the whole key) Might even be worth
wiping the current build,installing W98 from scratch and then doing all
security (only) updates. Also be wary about loading IE6 as that seems to
use more memory than 5.5

What do you definitely need?
A logging program or a packet program?

I have some www adresses for free (FOR AMATEUR USE ONLY) programs.

But I doubt this would be for amateur radio use... Nevermind we all are
happy CBers now!
Look for the Winlog32 full (registered) version which has maps You can
easily find it witha good search engine.

Win98Lite will be applied.

You'll be swapping RAM to hard disk if you have
too many apps and TSR's running.


Yes, that's understood. We are searching for more RAM for the laptop, and
perhaps you overlooked the statement in the original posting:

That's been done, already.

It will not be used for web browsing. Packet & logging, that's all.

Both, and with the limited memory capabilities (over 64MB on this machine
actually slows it down, because of the BIOS), finding a pair which were not
memory hogs, or a dual-function program, would be very nice.

I have some www adresses for free (FOR AMATEUR USE ONLY) programs.


That would be very nice. I'd appreciate it if you would send them to K7AAY
at the appropriate ARRL forwarding e-mail address (not explicitly listed,
to reduce the spam inevitiable if one posts a complete e-mail address on
USENET).

But I doubt this would be for amateur radio use...


Why? Didn't I specify this was for the Co. ARES unit?

Nevermind we all are happy CBers now!


The meaning of your last sentence eludes me.

Look for the Winlog32 full (registered) version which has maps You can
