First, let me apologize for so much mail on this topic.

The bottom line is that the new file is not backward-compatible with the old
file.  DX4WIN stores information from file directly in the log, so if the award
file changes too much, you might lose custom award counters.

There are almost 130 awards listed.  I'd say the problems affect 10-25% of the
awards (exactly how many, I can't say right now).

If you are using DX4WIN to track custom awards, I suggest your do not use the
new files.  Use the file from version 7.01 instead - if you need this file
because you don't have it, let me know and I'll send it to you.

If you are *not* using DX4WIN to track custom awards, it does not matter which
file you have.

I should have a new file in the next day or two.  If anyone wants to help me
test this, please reply directly.

Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C
