[Dx4win] Unhappy with DX4WIN

Yes, the file is corrupt.  DUH.

If you have country mappings that aren't in the official country file, they
get screwed up every time you update the country file.

The hard drive is not only perfect -- it is shadowed -- instantaneous copy.
It is also scanned daily and backed up daily.  I can tell you precisely when
the data went to pieces -- it was when I added FJ per the instructions on
here.  Unfortunately the instructions were written before the bug was
discovered.

And my hard drive has nothing to do with the design that does not keep the
log file intact in and of itself.  Any time the integrity of the log depends
on the integrity of multiple other files you are set up for problems.

As for the lost states -- look in the archives.  There is a bug in the new
country entry that messes it up.

Mike,

It sounds like you may have a file corruption problem.

I have never seen any of the errors you are reporting in well over 10 years
of using DX4win - since version 1.12. When you add a new country, no DXCC
counts ever change - unless you have qsos with that country after the start
date of the country. For example, when I added FJ, no qso I had ever made
counted for that country, so nothing changed. I suppose that it is also
possible that you may not have added FJ in properly which could cause
problems.

Check your hard drive for problems. It's not DX4win.
