[Dx4win] Combining Logs

[Darrell Earnshaw]

While I don't think that was the original intent of the group number, it can 
easily be used for that purpose. I used it that way for a number of years:

G4MZF/W4 (VA) - Group 1
NR3Y (VA): Group 2
NR3Y (CA): Group 3

This allowed me to separate reports - all entries (Group 0) for DXCC and yet 
ability to select VA versus CA for WAS awards. Now I use date filters to 
segment the log instead, which I think is a better approach. It also frees 
up the Group numbers for other uses, such as contest identifiers.

73, Darrell
