Last night after working a few contacts in the 160m contest I tried to
import the contacts from Writelog to DX4WIN as I usually do after each
contest. I have DX4WIN Ver. 7.03.16, which I believe is the latest version
available. I converted the the Writelog contest file to ADIF, ran DX4WIN,
clicked on FILE, then on Import/Export. The screen that showed up consisted
mostly of garbage characters. I could see the three columns that are
usually there, ID, USAGE and DESCRIPTION. Some of the text that usually
shows up in each column look correct but most of the text was pure garbage.
As a former programmer, it looked to me as if a table of text was messed up,
or an index was wrong or a format statement was wrong, or something like
that. I eventually guessed the correct place to click on and successfully
imported the data. I've never seen this before with DX4WIN. Has anyone
else seen this? Is this a known problem. Do I have a corrupted file.
Except for this one window with funny characters in it, DX4WIN seems to be
working correctly.
