Is anyone else participating in the CQ DX Marathon?

I am trying to figure out the easiest way to merge my DX4WIN data 
into the official submission form.

There are three problems:

- Need a list of countries worked in 2006, with callsigns, date, 
time, band and mode.
   DX4WIN doesn't provide this kind of listing directly.  My approach 
will be to clear
   any DXCC submitted/checked flags, mark all QSOs as confirmed, then generate
   a DXCC Submission Report (mixed-mode only) and save it to a file.  And make
   sure I don't ever save this log!

   Of course the CQ list is sorted by entity name, not prefix. I 
should be able to do
   that with the DXCC submission report.  And the submission report 
does not have
   times in it.

- Need a way to take that data and merge it into the 
spreadsheet.  I'm no Excel wizard.
   I'll probably just cut/paste.

  - the CQ list contains a half-dozen entities which are not on the DXCC list:

	4U1VIC
	GM/Shetlands
	IH9-IG9/African Italy
	IT9/Sicily
	JW/Bear Island
	TA1/European Turkey

   So I'll have to pull out those QSOs manually.

- Repeat the same thing for the 40 CQ Zones.  I may try just 
cutting/pasting the DXCC
   info except for those countries with multiple zones (USA, Canada, 
Russia, Australia).
