Hi WT users

Here is a summary of all new feaures of WT v3, with a small how-to for 
each of them.

= RTTY =

1/ New RTTY interface setup dlg in the Options menu. You must have 
installed the MMTTY plug-in before. If you plan to use it in SO2R, you 
must install 2 instances of the plug-in in different directories (read 
the MMTTY doc on this topic).  Just point to these directories in this 
dialog.

2/ New RTTY windows. The window is self-explanatory... You can select a 
callsign by double-clicking on it. WT will extract the entire callsign. 
You can also select a callsign like you do for a copy/paste in a text 
editor. WT automatically identifies a report and will fill the 
appropriate field accordingly.

= User interface =

1/ Child windows colors : You can now easily modify the colors of most 
of the child window on-the-fly by using the "Colors..." item in the 
contextual menus.

2/ Snap-in : All child windows moves can be constrained to be aligned 
with the others by hitting the shift key while moving the window.

3/ Child windows step resizing : The resizable text child windows can be 
resized by steps by hitting the shift key while resizing. Its height 
will be a multiple of a line height.

= N+1 window =

1/ You can now restrict the N+1 searches to your log only, by checking 
the appropriate item in its contextual menu.

= Network features =

1/ Log synchronization : You can synchronize opened logs in a network by 
enabling the appropriate Options menu item. It must be enabled on all 
appropriate computers. Of course, you can still enter QSOs on computers 
while sync is in progress.

2/ New Partner window : Can be opened (and closed) with the "Partner" 
item in the Windows menu. To enter a callsign (or whatever) in this 
window, enter it in the log callsign field and hit Alt-Enter. It will 
propagate on the network, and be displayed in all partner windows of tha 
network which has the same band and mode as the originator. To grab a 
callsign use Alt-1, Atl-2 etc... To swap the log callsign field and a 
partner content, use Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2 etc... To clear the partner window, 
use Alt-Backspace.

3/ Remote commands : Use the REMOTE text command to open the remote 
commands dialog. You can then send any text command to the specified 
computers. Each executed command will be acknowledged in your Gab wnd.

Have fun with WT v3 !
