[Dx4win] Something wrong with the key file

[Rick Craig]

I'm having the same problem that Roger has with the key.  I unzipped 
the key to the correct directory and it shows that it is there.  When 
I open Dx4win version 8.01, it shows my name and call but when I try 
to save the log, it says there is something wrong with the key.  The 
program then saves my log as a 0 byte file.

Not a good thing,  Rick, N6ND
