[Dx4win] DX Calendar

Here is my first attempt to create a calendar for DX4WIN.  It's
derived from 425 DX News #1060 (
http://www.jdxn.net/dx/110827-425-cal.htm ):

    http://dx4win.ad1c.us/calendar.txt

Right-click on the link above and choose "Save as".  To load the
calendar into DX4WIN, go to File | Calendar then:

    File | Import data dd/mm/yyyy

(make sure to select this date format, not the mm/dd/yyyy format).

The conversion still needs a little bit of work, this is just to get
started.  If you notice any differences between the on-line calendar
and the one in DX4WIN, let me know (there are a lot of different
formats to try to parse).  I may find these problems myself, but every
little bit helps.

If people like this, I'll try to incorporate it into the DX4WIN Data
Updater, and try to create the calendar on a weekly basis (I believe
the bulletins come out on Friday).  You'll still have to import the
calendar each time (after updating/downloading).  Maybe some day tine
future, there will be a way to avoid that last step, but not today.
