[Dx4win] Ver 8.01 issues

[David, K2DBK]

I'd been using ","  (such as   "David, River Vale") but I can live with 
it. I suppose the optimal solution would be to have the user specify the 
delimiter, but if I really feel the need I can export my log, massage 
the data, and re-import it. I'm just happy to have the new version out, 
and am anxiously awaiting my version 8 key. :-)
