[Dx4win] Re: QRZ CDROM Bug

[John Shaw]

I must admit I can se how it can be confusing.  Basically the directory
needs to be on the root directory of the drive.  The last line
C:\RAC2000 gives the clue.
I shouldn't have butted in, must be in a tisky mood this morning.

The 7.01 Help file states:

CDRom Drive
The drive letter of the CDRom drive or the data directory used for the 
CDROM data. Some products allow you to copy the data to your hard disk, 
freeing the CDROM. Examples:
E: when your CDROM is drive E
C:\RAC2000 when you copied your data directory to your hard disk.

The 7.01 User's Guide states:

Data Directory
Enter the drive path to where the CD ROM data can be found. When
accessing 
directly from a
CD ROM, only the CD ROM drive designation needs to be entered (D:\, E:\,

etc.) If the CD
ROM information database has been loaded directly onto the hard drive, 
specify the complete
path to where this data can be found (C:\RAC2000, etc.)

I don't know what manual you have been using, John, but it seems to have

been more helpful to you than the above have been to me.
