jaLog 1.06 (Just Another Log? Java Log?)
This page needs some serious work, but here's some information to get you started.
jaLog is an open source logging application, which is written in Java, for amateur radio operators.
Version 1.06 is quite simple, allowing for general log entries and reading/writing to the amateur data interchange format (ADIF). It also supports themes and callsign lookup from Callook.info.
The released versions of jaLog have been compiled with Java 1.5, so you will need to have Java 1.5 installed on your system. You can try other releases of Java, though I can't promise that it will work.
The download page contains a simple zip file. Just unzip it anywhere on your file system.
For windows users, I've provided a start.bat file to run the application and a start.sh file for Unix users. This assumes that you have Java installed.
In the future, I'll add an installation system.
