[Dx4win] Save mycall.dxl

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

This is a Window thing, not a DX4WIN thing.  Why don't the other
hundreds of Windows applications have this warning?  Because people
are expected to know what they're doing!

When you load a file from an older version, the pop-up says "Reading
QSOs, Converting to ... format".  That should be the tip-off.

I hope Paul spends his time on more important things.
