Copying anything to CD's is not without problems. The files become read only files when you look at the properties, and you have to change them back to read/write files. Most logs and the save directory can be zipped and will fit on a 1.44 floppy. That is easy to move to the new computer and unzip in a backup directory. That said:
I would run the old DX4WIN on the old computer and write the DX4WIN ini file to the save directory which is probably DX4W602/save. This saves most of your preferences. I would write the entire save directory to a cd, then write it back to a backup of the save directory on the new computer. Change all file properties in this new directory back from read only to read write. You original log will be in this directory as should be your call.key keycode for DX4WIN. Install the new program. Import the dx4win.ini file through preferences, copy your key file to the new save directory and copy your log to the new save directory. You should be good to go. The new country file is good enough that I would not import my old country file unless you want to import the qsl managers. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bud Governale Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 4:23 PM To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Log File Transfer I'm downloading 6.03 to a new computer.
