Hi Hamad,

I had not heard about Shift-F8 before!

>From the help text:

"This command is identical to the Search command, except that it will not erase
the last filter setting. It can be used to modify a previous filter, or to see
the filter settings used by some of the reports after double-clicking in a
summary window or a listing-report."

I notice the following problems after searching for a call using F8:

Shift-F8 does the following:

- rstS = 599
- rstR = 599
- Zone = 0
- Notes for this call (recalled from last search)
- Group = 0

I believe that ALL these fields (except Callsign of course) should have been
left blank.

I tried a more advanced search - I set the STATE field also.  In this case,
Callsign and State were recalled correctly, but RST, Notes, Zone and Group were
as above.

I tried a third search on only the CQ Zone.  It was recalled correctly, but RST
and group were set as above.

Paul will probably not be able to fix this until after Dayton.

First, let me apologize for so much mail on this topic.

The bottom line is that the new file is not backward-compatible with the old
file.  DX4WIN stores information from file directly in the log, so if the award
file changes too much, you might lose custom award counters.

There are almost 130 awards listed.  I'd say the problems affect 10-25% of the
awards (exactly how many, I can't say right now).

If you are using DX4WIN to track custom awards, I suggest your do not use the
new files.  Use the file from version 7.01 instead - if you need this file
because you don't have it, let me know and I'll send it to you.

If you are *not* using DX4WIN to track custom awards, it does not matter which
file you have.

I should have a new file in the next day or two.  If anyone wants to help me
test this, please reply directly.

Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C

Subject: [Dx4win] Previous bad bug still on 7.02
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Despite previous requests from many DX4WIN users, without CAT connection 
between transceiver and PC,
the incoming dxcluster spots still taking band/mode control of the entry 
windows.

Can we expect that will be fixed with the next release or not ??
