[Dx4win] Unhappy with DX4WIN

<FLAME ON>

I have been a user for at least 8 years.  But I may not be much longer.

I tried to add FJ.  Interesting results including index out of range error.
Had to restart DX4WIN.

But it added FJ.

So I tried adding TO5FJ.  Index out of range error.  QSO added.  Had to
restart DX4WIN.  Deleted QSO.

Now I'm missing a lot of state information, a lot of county information, a
few CONF flags.

Fortunately I had a backup from February, so I can reconstruct the 250
confirmations for my New Mexico WAS.

Now I get to do the same for my Missouri WAS.

This is ridiculous.  A bug like that should have been resolved years ago.
And problems with the country database should not foul the actual log
information -- which should be sacred.

I suggest that we be provided ASAP with a utility to compare two logs and
correct the missing information.

And I suggest some time be spent not on minor features but on making the
actual log file secure from country information problems.  This has been a
problem since the beginning and I dread every country file update because I
have to do a dump of the old file in ASCII, update the country file, and do
another dump to see which of my DXCC confirmations have disappeared.
