Paul said in his announcement that the file was not on the web site yet.

No promises, but it worked for me. 73 Alan, N5PA Instructions for Upgrading to Version 6.04: 1. In DX4WIN version 6.03, open your Preferences window by clicking File and then Preferences 2. Then in the Preferences window click File and Write INI File and save it to your "SAVE" directory in DX4WIN version 6.03 (C:\Program Files\dx4w603\save) 3. Download the new version of DX4WIN and save it to wherever you normally save downloaded files to or your desktop 4. Double click the new downloaded file and it will create the new release of DX4WIN in a directory called C:\Program Files\dx4w604 5. From the root directory of your old version of DX4WIN (C:\Program Files\dx4w603) copy your key file to the new version root directory (C:\Program Files\dx4w604). This file is usually your call sign dot key, i.e. N5PA.key 6. From your old save file (C:\Program Files\dx4w603\save) copy the following files to the new save directory (C:\Program Files\dx4w604\save): dx4win.awd, dx4win.rep, dx4win.tcp, and your log file, which ends in .dxl 7. Open the new version of DX4WIN 8. Open your Preferences window by clicking File and then Preferences 9. Then in the Preferences window click File and Merge INI file, select the DX4WIN.INI file we created in step 2 by going to the old directory at C:\Program Files\dx4w603\save and click Open to merge it into your new Preferences file 10. Once you have merged the changes you will need to make some band changes on the DXCC, WAS, WAZ, and WPX tabs. For some reason it does not import those from the INI file. I normally just have 1.8 MHz through 50 MHz checked and I do not have all of the other VHF/UHF/Microwave frequencies checked. That is your preference. 11. After you have made those changes, click File and then Save Changes and Exit. Most of your windows will not come back into place. 12. If you use a Master Call window you will need to create a new master call database. 13. To create a Master Calls file you click File and then Import/Export. 14. From the Import / Export Filters window highlight the "CALLS" id in the filters and then select File and Export. 15. A "Save As" window will open up and you can create a file called "calls.txt" and save it to C:\Program Files\dx4w604\save. 16. Once it is saved you can close the "Import / Export Filters" window by clicking File and then Exit. 17. If you have not already, open up the Master Calls window by clicking Window and Master Calls on your QSO window. 18. Once the MasterLookup window is open, right click inside the MasterLookup window and two options will appear. 19. Click the Convert option and a file Open window will appear. 20. Go to the directory where you saved the calls.txt file, which should have been C:\Program Files\dx4w604\save. 21. Key in the file name calls.txt in the File name and click the Open button. It will convert the file into your MasterLookup window. No promises, but you should be ready to go now with the new version. This is how I did my conversion and it should work for you.
