Not quite correct... When you create a backup using ALT-B, or the backup timer expires, it's written to your DX4WIN installation directory (not the SAVE directory) as DX4WIN.DXB. If there was previously a DX4WIN.DXB there, it is first renamed to DX4WIN.~XB Similarly, when you save a log using ALT-S, if there was previously a <CALL>.DXL file there, that file is first renamed to <CALL>.~XL. This is the file that I think Terry was thinking of. 73 - Jim AD1C ===== Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jul 8 09:00:45 2004 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Reisert AD1C) Date: Thu Jul 8 09:02:48 2004 Subject: [Dx4win] HELP!

However, it might be time to rethink this. My log has over 60K QSOs and ALT-S saves almost instantaneously on a 933 MHz P3 computer with adequate RAM and hard disk space. It might be interesting to hear from others who have upwards of 200K or more QSOs in their log. 73 - Jim AD1C ===== Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jul 8 18:29:45 2004 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Reisert AD1C) Date: Thu Jul 8 18:31:48 2004 Subject: [Dx4win] What's up with Release 9 of country database? Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Folks, Work is continuing on Release 9 of the country database. I still have about a week's worth of work to do on the QSL manager part. This is work going back to last February that just kind of "stopped" but now needs to be finished. The callsign to country mapping database was last changed on June 20: http://www.ad1c.com/dx4win/history.htm But I have some new entries that will be added before the release is done. I hope to get something released the weekend of July 17/18. Sorry it has taken so long. 73 - Jim AD1C ===== Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jul 9 23:03:09 2004 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ARS NZ3O (Byron) FM29fx) Date: Fri Jul 9 23:05:26 2004 Subject: [Dx4win] SWL Labels - Mode Errors Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I posted this awhile back but heard nothing. When I Print SWL Labels, random labels show RTTY as the mode although I have no RTTY QSOs in my log. Any ideas? This has been true since one of the v5 revs and is still true in 6.03 for me. 73, Byron
