Dear Mr. Reisert: Oh my! A young person would have understood. However, I have good news. After the two needed files were safely in place, the program acted as if nothing had changed. I hypothecated that when starting with a new HD and a new OS (Windows 7) I must have managed to install two copies of DX4WIN. Indeed, that proved to be the case. One is in what I call the root directory and the other was in with regular programs. I now have a corrected shortcut and things seem to be working.
The big event will be to see what happens when I try to uninstall the redundant program and its files. Perhaps it will be more safe to delete the entire folder with the redundant program. Many times in my life I have been asked to read drafts of papers written by others with an eye to finding things obvious to the author that would not be clear to the reader. I just did not identify the link in question and now I see that clicking it would not have produced the expected result. All of us are indebted to you for the critical and useful enhancements that you have crafted and then provided. Thank you.

" No link is seen. "the link above" takes you to to the top of the page where it says: "DX4WIN.CTY #90 was released on 16 January 2011." "DX4WIN.CTY #90" is highlighted because it is a hyperlink to the download page. The download page says, "Release #90 - 16 January 2011" which again is a link to the .ZIP file. I'm sorry this wasn't obvious. I'll try to re-write it next time so it's more so. > The need for a matching file was not apparent. The instructions say, "The archive contains another file, ADIF.PMP. This file is used to map QSOs in imported and exported ADIF files to the correct country (this includes eQSL and ARRL Logbook of the World). Extract the ADIF.PMP file from the archive and save it into the IMPORT directory." I'll make it more clear that this is required. The "archive" is the .ZIP file previously mentioned. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <[email protected]>, http://www.ad1c.us J. C. Mc Laughlin Michigan U.S.A.
