Merry Christmas, everyone.

For the last week I have been trying to teach myself Windows GUI 
programming.  I just released a test version of a Windows GUI 
application for comparing DX4WIN DXCC data to the LoTW Award Credit 
Matrix.  This is only my second program (first program went through 
two major functional re-writes), but my best effort so far.

Please see this web page and look for the BOLD text:

         http://dx4win.ad1c.us/dxcc.htm

"There is a test version of a Windows-GUI version that was last 
modified on 24 December 2006. Click on this 
<http://dx4win.ad1c.us/dx4wlotw_win.zip>link to download the program."

Extract the DX4WLOTW.EXE file into your DX4WIN directory (same 
directory as DX4WIN.EXE).

You still need to create the DX4WIN and LoTW listings yourself, as 
described on that web page.

To start the program, double-click the icon.  It should be fairly easy to run:

         Click on the "CSV" button to navigate to and select the 
DX4WIN listing you saved.
         Click on the "HTML" button to navigate to and select the 
LoTW listing you saved.
         Click on "OK" to do the comparison.  The results will be 
displayed in the window.
         Click on "Exit" to exit the program (results will NOT be 
saved anywhere).

My next effort (after Christmas!) will be to add a button to print 
the results to a printer.

I also need to add some Help text, as well as an installation program.

Please test this on Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP and let me know if 
and how it works for you.  I'm not sure whether the program will work 
on Windows 95/98/ME so I need help testing it.
