Read-only mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It is necessary to have relatively 'severe' warnings if you are about to go
into download only mode for the first time because stuff gets written
permanently to your Championship file from the logger and it will continue
to append stuff thereafter. (The warnings are mostly to stop organizers
going into download only mode by mistake and making a mess of their own
championship settings - there are backups though...)

In fact download-only mode should really just be 'read-only mode', in other
words the operator can't make mods to the logger.frdl file if he hasn't got
a pw match, but otherwise should be able to choose whether he makes an igc
file according to the organizer's settings (which are on the logger in
logger.frdl) or his own, (which are in his championship .frdc file).

You then wouldn't need any warnings at all because non-pw holders could
freely swap between the two modes.... the default would be organizer
settings so you get exactly what he did, but no reason why you can't have
your own for some other reason, maybe with the option to copy organizer
settings to your own settings if you want them.

However; not so easy to implement because it would mean having 'hot
swappable' championship settings, one set which was yours and one which is
the organizer's, and presently championship settings are rather deeply
embedded in the app. as a single entity.

Perhaps blue track lines when you're using organizer settings and red ones
if you're using your own?

v2 maybe...
