[Dxspider-support] DX-Spider & CLX

[Bob Nielsen]

It looks like Will sent this to me, instead of to Bill or the list.

In the recent WPX, I fed DX-Spider spots directly into TLF, both
running on the same Linux PC.  TLF is a TR-Log lookalike
(http://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl/~pa0rct/TLF-0.2.html).

73, Bob
