[Dx4win] QSL Method All Messed Up!!!

Hi Everyone. It appears my QSLVIA is all messed. I believe that my
import from DXBASE didn't work very well. As you know, DXBASE doesn't
have an export to ADIF utility built in, so I had to use a third party
app to get the job done. After some editing to force the file to conform
to the spec, it looked OK to me. However, my QSLVIA is pretty messed up
and I'm looking for some suggestions on how to fix a large number of
QSOs easily.
Example 1:
Most of my US stations have the QSL Method marked for the Buro. I
obviously want K stations to go direct. I can filter on the K prefix and
Buro method, is it possible to now switch all of these over to direct? I
looked at the Change QSL Routing, but it doesn't appear to do what I
want. It wants to work the other way around.
Example 2:
Many of my non K prefix QSOs appear to have direct as the default
method. Being cheap, I would prefer to give the Buro a shot first.
Obviously some QSOs I'll mail a card for with a SASE but that's really
only for DXpeditions, etc. I can handle those on a case by case basis,
or if a year or so goes by.
So far, the only way I've been able to get this to work is to just apply
the filter and evaluate on a QSO by QSO basis. As you can imagine, this
is quite a tedious task and very time consuming. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
On a side note, I don't have a printer hooked up to my station computer,
is it possible to just transfer the log to another machine and print
them from there, or do I also need to transfer additional files?
Thank You.
