Here's a quick upgrade cheat sheet for 9.01.
Here's my initial feedback. Using Win10, fyi.
Unfortunately, it didn't go as easy for me as with previous version
jumps. First of all, I installed the program in the
c:\hamradio\dx4win901. The program definitely did not like that at all,
despite having had all the previous versions in the same hamradio
folder. Would not save the window positions, crashed upon exiting, etc.
Also kept coming up with "Master file:
c:\hamradio\dx4w901\SAVE\mstrcals.dat not found, no calls loaded".
Uninstalled from the folder, restarted Windows, installed in c:\dx4w901.
Now was able to save window positions, except it still wants to load
mstrcals.dat and can't find it, and it also sporadically crashes upon
exiting the program. Also had to reformat Report:logbook window columns,
but that's a minor annoyance.
Furthemore, I am using screen fonts\scale as follows: Arial 9, Fixed
Size 9, Fixed Size 9, scale factor 80, no skin selected. All windows
seem fine except:
- sunrise and sunset times are cut off in the SunRise/Set window
- CW keyboard buttons and fonts are smaller than all the other window fonts
Now, what the hell is mstrcals.dat, where can I find it (not on AD1C
site, apparently) and how come no one else reported this same thing?
Also, I still have the program crashing problem. Sometimes it crashes
with options to abort/continue/restart, sometimes it just hangs with
"not responding" forever and it has to be killed.
Any ideas?
