Notes
1. The Pro version will use a database system for logging. Each entry
into the Log is saved to the db immediately, rather than the Log being saved to
file periodically. A fresh database file will be started at program start,
or when manually requested. There will be a Log Viewer for saved log
files, with the ability to export the Log data to tab or csv format for loading
into a spreadsheet.
2. Shareware
3. The Pro version is estimated to be available sometime in the new year
(2010).
