I have been working on a program all week. I ran into a part that wine can not emulate (hope I used the right word there)

I was wondering if someone would mind running the program and telling me a result they got by issuing a certain command.

http://www.smashindex.com (SmashIndex Logger)

The program logs callsigns for amateur radio operators. So if you don't have a clue how to run it, please just fill in random information until you get to the main menu.

at the main menu, I need you to choose menu option 6 and then enter ki4jgt or any other callsign you can think of, LOL and tell me if it opens your webbrowser to a page with my contact info on it. Thanks so much for anyone willing to do this.

**EDIT: Sorry, once you've downloaded the program unzip it and run SLI.exe thanks again

will it run in a virtual machine? That's all the windows I got.

Don't know if it will or not. I know you don't have to install it and what's happening is it's running a file called DLL32.exe from a Win system. That's what the programming forum told me to do anyway.

Ran it, Option 6 with the callsign you gave opened this site: http://www.qrz.com/db/

Oh, and apparently it runs fine in virtual box, so maybe that will be better than wine?

did it show any information on the callsign at all?

No. ki4jgt gave no info on the website. But when I put your call sign into the websites search field, and hit enter it pulls up details... Yours, I assume.

Yes, Thank you so much. I don't know what's going on then, unless I have to compile it on windows as well, b/c I just ran the debugger the program is getting the entire site http://www.qrz.com/db/ki4jgt but I don't know why it isn't opening it. Maybe I should try putting another / past ki4jgt.

Dunno, I tried it with changing the last two letters in your callsign from gt to rg, and it directs to the website and calls up details...

Yeah, I think they're in the KJ's now, so any think from ki4jgt to kj*** should work. but I'm not so sure on it. Plus the US has four beginning letters K,N,A, and W. W1AW is the head quarter's for amarica's representatives on the radio. sorry for blabbing, LOL just explaining why you can change letters.

**EDIT: sorry thought you said it didn't work. I just reread. Thanks again!
