[Dx4win] Conversion subprogram

[Paul van der Eijk]

Tod,

ADIF files are plain ASCII files; you can edit such a file with any text 
editor as long as you save the text in plain ASCII again (no formatting).

I do not know what field your software uses in the ADIF file for a section,
but the DX4WIN ADIF import expects the 'ARRL_SECT' field.

Hope this helps,

-- Paul
