[Dx4win] QSL Managers

[Alan Zack]

Yes, the GOLIST is my primary QSL database (In the F3 box I hit return 
on the DX call, that takes me to QRZ.com.  I check QRZ.COM for any QSL 
info, the DX'ers own web site, etc.).  My F3 box also gives me GOLIST 
QSL MGR data.  What ever DX MGR info I get from the GOLIST or QRZ.COM 
goes into the QSL MGR box for the log entry for that station and I 
print a label.  But when you update from one version to another, or 
download a new COUNTRY list, all the QSL MGR info you gathered and 
entered is written over.  I want to be able to update the Country 
prefix files WITHOUT wiping out the QSL MGR data I manually entered, 
but when you update a Country file it downloads the DX4WIN QSL MGR 
data base over what you have manually entered yourself over the years.
