I think we're getting to the point where this discussion is pointless.
There's a bug in at least the current DX4WIN software triggered by
adding a new entity. Sh*t happens. Blaming the victim of the bug isn't
helpful as far as I can see.
Those of us using Jim's country file didn't trip over the bug
(actually, I did, but I reverted to my backup when things went wrong.)
I may have lost info; given that I don't chase WAS (only DXCC) there's
no loss (for me) in this case as it's easily recovered. That's not the
case for some users who have thousands of lost QSOs. Piling onto
someone just because *you* didn't have any data lost isn't helpful.
It's a bug, hopefully it'll get fixed, and we can move on. Let's drop
this topic, please.

Subject: [Dx4win] spot window colors V6.03 -> v7.03
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I just upgraded and I think I may have messed something (minor) up.
Far as I can tell, everything works perfectly after I did the upgrade EXCEPT
the colors in the spot window. And the new features are really great!
For example, if I recall correctly, when I've already worked a DXCC entity on a
given band and mode, the spot would indicate a low priority.
Maybe that's not an accurate recollection... anyway...
After the upgrade, in some cases, the spot shows yellow and P #1.
For example, I have Costa Rica TI logged several times over on 40 CW, but it
shows this as a P1.
Anothe case: just yesterday I managed to work TO5FJ and logged it correctly as
FJ, on 40SSB.
The spot for this shows TWICE, both as a gray P9 and as a yellow P1.
Yet, in most other instances, the color and priority show what I'd expect, as
it did before.
So, what did I do wrong?
