Yes, the file is corrupt. DUH. If you have country mappings that aren't in the official country file, they get screwed up every time you update the country file.
The hard drive is not only perfect -- it is shadowed -- instantaneous copy. It is also scanned daily and backed up daily. I can tell you precisely when the data went to pieces -- it was when I added FJ per the instructions on here. Unfortunately the instructions were written before the bug was discovered. And my hard drive has nothing to do with the design that does not keep the log file intact in and of itself. Any time the integrity of the log depends on the integrity of multiple other files you are set up for problems. As for the lost states -- look in the archives. There is a bug in the new country entry that messes it up. 73 Mike WA0SXV -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Naumann Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2008 17:25 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Dx4win] Unhappy with DX4WIN Mike, It sounds like you may have a file corruption problem. I have never seen any of the errors you are reporting in well over 10 years of using DX4win - since version 1.12. When you add a new country, no DXCC counts ever change - unless you have qsos with that country after the start date of the country. For example, when I added FJ, no qso I had ever made counted for that country, so nothing changed. I suppose that it is also possible that you may not have added FJ in properly which could cause problems. Check your hard drive for problems. It's not DX4win. 73, Bob W5OV
