Hullo DX4WIN users,

I do not currently use DX4WIN but would like to do so in the future. 

I currently use TurboLog 3 (an excellent 1980's DOS program originally designed by John G3WGV) with some 105,000 G3TXF QSOs (mostly 1990+) in the database. 

My query is : how can I import my existing TurboLog database into DX4WIN and fully retain the integrity of the DXCC statistics? I believe that a straight ADIF export-import would not work because the "Country" would need to be correctly identified, which is impossible with a log that (in part) covers 40+ years. EG what's a "UR" ? Estonia (in the 1980's) or Ukraine (today)... etc? 

Is there a way of exporting from TurboLog so that the existing "country numbers" within Turbolog can be "translated" into the corresponding "country numbers" within DX4WIN?

Having got my All-Time/Current Band-Mode-Country QSO/QSL statistics to be fully accurate within TurboLog, any transfer to DX4WIN could only be done if these Country statistics remained 100% in tact.

Thanks for any help that the DX4WIN Reflector might be able to offer on how to accurately import TurboLog into DX4WIN.
