3. COPY YOURLOG.DXL + DX4WIN.CTY + DX4WIN.INI IN THIS "MYFILES" DIRECTORY
4. INSTALL DX4WIN6.01 INTO A NEW DIRECTORY
5. MOVE THE "YOURCALL.KEY" YOU RECEIVED INTO THIS NEW DIRECTORY
6. MOVE YOURLOG.DXL ALSO THERE
7. START DX4WIN601
8. CLOSE THE SAMPLE LOG
9. OPEN YOURLOG.DXL
10. YOUR LOG WILL BE CONVERTED
11. CLICK SAVE AS and SELECT C:\DX4WIN601\SAVE\YOURLOGNAME
