[Dx4win] Using the QRZ database from the HD

Fri, 27 Dec 2002 14:34:38 -0500

As an aside to this.  I think that the RAC instal looks to see if a
previous version was installed and then asks if you want it to replace
the old one in the same directory.  If I remember correctly that's the
way the install of this last version went.  My RAC is in directory
C:\RAC with four sub directories under that: DATA, HELP, LABELS32, and
TEXTE.
