Of course Joe Taylor is right, he wrote the software.

There are all sorts of pitfalls when compiling WSJT and WSPR. Some of the things effected are bizarre. For instance 'Program crashes when entering TX frequency in a box', problem goes when compiled with the old obsolete g95 Fortran compiler.

I don't even want to venture into reason and rights and wrongs, my natural feelings are toward the latest developments.

The Report Labels obviously are OK when compiled for Windows. Linux treats them differently, they wander round the GUI like lost sheep.
I have cured that with a GUI re design and I like it, all the 'keep your eye on' bits in one region. Believed to be stable on Debian and Ubuntu 8.10 here she is.
