Just use HTTP and REST. It works in all languages. You can define commands as URLs. You can post your log entries as ADIF file snippets. Use a port other than port 80 for obvious reasons. Most modern languages have a great HTP client library so you don't have to roll your own client for yo

An advantage of UDP is that the logger could be on another platform / computer. Although there's network DDE I have never tried it and don't want to try it to be honest. Also I would say that UDP is easy in all languages, DDE is a tad complex in C++. Simon Brown, HB9DRV - Original Message

Dave, over five years ago now, I pushed for using a standard DDE interface for all PSK31 programs so anybody could use his favorite logging probgram with his favorite PSK31 program, and developers did not have to keep reinventing the wheel. It also found little interest. :-( I'd still like to s
