Thanks to several people, I now have a long list of bugs to 
fix.  Several of them are in the original command-line program.  I'll 
update the Windows program during the next few days.  I will NO 
LONGER maintain the command-line version, since the Windows version 
is easier to use.

Here's what's on the list:

Old bugs:

- must include Deleted countries in DX4WIN DXCC listing
- 70CM band from DX4WIN causes problems
- ARRL LoTW report format changed slightly, could crash program
- Name of SERRANA BANK & RONCADOR CAY in ARRL report changed
- Differences output when not worked in DX4WIN can have garbage characters

New bugs/features (Windows program only)

- Add -S switch for treating DX4WIN submitted as checked
- multi-page output to printer (and use fixed font)
- save output listing to a file, or allow user to cut/paste text from screen
- Add HELP button
- Improve error checking of input files

The first two releases should have been version 2.0 and 2.1.  The 
next release will be version 2.2. I'll announce it here on the reflector.

I still some to test the program using Windows 95/98/ME and Windows 
NT 4.0.  I have heard that the program works with Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
