[Dx4win] Upgrading DX4WIN in V8 - another step you should do !

[Dave Sharred]

Hi All

Just discovered something else that has caught me out in upgrading from 8.02
to 8.03 - IOTA database.

If you look at the help notes, and you chase IOTA, there is a database file
that you need from the IOTA web site -
http://www.rsgbiota.org/xml/fulllist.xml . This is saved in the "SAVE"
directory.

IN 8.02; I did this operation; and populated the island names.

In migrating to 8.03 omitted to put the file in the directory; all of the
data is then discarded in the migration process.

You could either download the file again from the IOTA website or copy it
over from the 8.02 directory, to the 8.03 directory, as I did. If you then
copy your log over, you preserve the island names.

In my case; I have been doing some additional log cleansing, so it is too
late to go back to the old version; although I could spend an evening
updating 8.03 laboriously !

Jim - could this additional step be covered in your application notes; I
think this is the best place to cover this!
