[Dx4win] DX Spots Window

Fri, 21 Feb 2003 09:15:20 -0500

I must confess I am unclear on what checking the box "backup spots" is
supposed to do... as they seem to be backed up unconditionally when I close
DX4Win... perhaps Jim or Paul can clarify this...

It almost seems that DX4Win is not saving your spot file on closing DX4Win.
Ted... Did you check and see if when the backup box is checked that spots
arriving between the last backup interval and closing DX4Win are saved?
