Hi all, as the fixed choice of editors is quite a nuisance I prepared a changed version for tests. Please find it at https://github.com/dl1jbe/tlf/tree/new_editor
Download the code and build TLF as told in the INSTALL file. Do not forget the 'autoreconf -i' step. The new version accepts any string as editor command and will just call that program with the logfile name as parameter. That means EDITOR=my-shiny-editor in logcfg.dat will call 'my-shiny-editor <logfilename>' So a simple EDITOR=nano should do afterwards. Please test and give feedback. 73, de Tom DL1JBE Am Fri, 22 Nov 2019 11:08:52 -0600 schrieb jim smith <n0...@sbcglobal.net>: > On Fri, 22 Nov 2019 15:06:14 +0100 > Joop Stakenborg <joop.stakenb...@xs4all.nl> wrote: > > > I have gotten used to the GNU nano editor, but it does not seem to > > work with tlf.
