Hi Austin, I had a look at the Arch repository. From there I think you have a tlf-1.3.0 version.
You have two ways to solve your problem: 1. Drop the space between '-f' and the filename, e.g. $ tlf -fqrpfoxhunt.dat 2. Use a separate directory, name the config file there just 'logcfg.dat' and call tlf without '-f' $ mkdir ~/tlf/contestdir $ cp logcfg.dat ~/tlf/contestdir $ cd ~/tlf/contestdir adapt logcfg.dat as you like and finally just call $ tlf Hope that solves the problem. 73, de Tom DL1JBE Am Tue, 18 Feb 2020 23:32:50 -0500 schrieb "Austin Seraphin, KA3TTT" <ka3...@ka3ttt.net>: > I installed TLF from the Arch User Repository.
