[Dx4win] External Program Callsign Address Lookup

Tue, 7 May 2002 21:50:32 -0400

C:\HAM\DX4W503\EXTDATA\QSL.BAT is what I use.

The idea is to place all of the text to be displayed into manager.res.

When I get a chance, I'll write a little REXX program to extract data from a
file and output it to manager.res.
