[Dx4win] Ver 8.01 issues

[Mel]

I would suggest that you not use DX4Win to populate the name and QTH 
fields then. If Paul doesn't allow a specified delimiter ("," or "|" or 
"in") then either Jim will modify one of his programs or I will write a 
new one. I already have a program than could do this (To recognize a "," 
as well as "|" is a one line change) but it works with ADIF which 
doesn't preserve LotW status for example. I used it to transfer DX4Win 
data to another logger I was testing (D4W was better). Jim's programs 
work with DXQ which is preferable... so I'm hoping that he might hack 
one of his programs if we ask him really nicely ;-)
