[Dx4win] pre-emptive QSLing

[Pete Smith]

Hi Thor - Thanks for your note - I didn't remember that my article was on 
AD1C's web site.

Try this as a test.  Hit F8 and search for a prefix for which you have 
relatively few QSOs (JT?).  Then click on Labels|Set Print Flag rather than 
Mark for QSL.  The program will ask you "Set label field in QSOs matching 
filter?" Click yes, and it will mark only the JT QSOs.

I don't know about the 9999 limit - I just did a simulated print run with 
my entire log - over 100,000 QSOs - and the program said it was ready to 
print every one.  There could be such a limit in the printing, not just in 
the previewing, but it isn't visible.
