Here is the result. TLF from git does NOT score multis wrong. The problem lies in reading (and interpreting) old log files in new TLF versions. There was a change in interpreting the log file in last months. Old version (until 1.3.2) had an inconsistent scheme of recording the worked multipliers depending on the logconf.dat settings. Sometimes it used simply the exchange field, sometimes it used the additional field just before the recorded points. That was changed to always use the multi field before the points, but old logs did not always set that field right. You can check that it counts correct by reinserting the QSOs into a fresh logfile or better by exporting the actual one to cabrillo and reimporting the cabrillo file with 'tlf -i'. The only downside of the latter is that it does not keep any point scoring you changed by hand. So long story short. The new version counts the mults correctly but interprets old logfiles wrong. If that is a problem in everyday use we have to think of a way to automatically convert to the new format. 73, de Tom DL1JBE > > Other distros have 1.3.2 stable in meantime. > > It's funny how some things are maintained - the Opensuse HAM > repository seems a touch behind on some apps, and pretty up to date > on others. > > Thanks again! > > 73, Adam. > > > -- "Do what is needful!"
