[Dx4win] Another log program bites the dust...

[Paul van der Eijk]

I used to be a DXBase user many years ago. I recall having a lengthy
phone conversation with Jack about features I would like to see in
DXBase. I do not recall how that conversation ended, but I started my
design for DX4WIN the next day.

I wish Jack all the best,
