Now, stuck with a DOS log, too old for exporting, I blench at the thought of typing 62 years'-worth, especially as I've made more QSOs since retiring than before.
Before giving up on exporting it, cast about for text-based methods of exporting it to various spreadsheet programs. You may spend a week figuring out how to do it, but that's a LOT less than retyping it. :)
Several years ago, I dug out old logs from the '50s when I was W8FNI, then the 60s and 70s when I was W9NEC. All paper. My first challenge was to try to figure out what time zone I was using, and in most, I still don't know. Other tasks have percolated to the top, and I've never taken the time to type most of them (although I did start).
