[Dx4win] Master Calls listing import

[Karl Oyster]

Hi, Guys....

I was trying to fire up the master calls window in D4W and found 
that there's a step missing in the instructions, which read:


"If you want to use all the calls stored in your own log, the 
steps are simple:
      1. Export your log using the 'calls' filter

      2. Save the file somewhere, and call it """"calls.txt""""

      3. From the PopUp menu in the Master Calls window select 
'Convert'

      4. When asked for the file to convert, select the file you 
created in step 2

Master call PopUp Menu

Convert

Convert file to Master log format

You will be prompted for a file containing callsigns. The file 
will be scanned for callsigns and all calls found will be sorted 
and duplicates will be removed. The resulting file, DX4WIN.MAS, 
will be stored in the DX4WIN directory."











Note the """"calls.txt"""" in step #2 above.  Nothing happened 
when I tried to do it this way because the program needs to see 
"master.dta", an easily enough accomplished thing (change the name 
of the file before you try to 'convert').  Not really all that 
difficult, but a step 2A ("change the file name to "master.dta") 
would surely have increased the speed with which it is 
accomplished.



Didn't think I'd EVER get to the point where I could make a legit 
complaint about software AND HAVE THE ANSWER TO IT MYSELF!!!! 
Think I'll go have some pizza!!
