[Dx4win] Fred Fish Memorial Award

I recently wrote a program that scans a DX4WIN file (.DXQ) and finds QSOs that qualify for the Fred Fish Memorial Award (FFMA).  It finds the QSOs based upon Band (6m), Grid Square being filled in and Cnfm flag set.  The Award field does NOT have to be filled in for a QSO to be selected.  The program creates a .CSV file similar to the official form for FFMA.  I could add an option where it would create a .DXQ file that could then be "imported" to DX4WIN to update your log's Award field.  
This program is not ready for prime-time (requires some hand-holding by me).  If there is sufficient interest, I will see about making the program more presentable and available.
 
In the mean time, if you would like to see what it produces, send me your log (.DXL or .DXQ) and I will send you an attachment with the .CSV file.  You can then give me feed back on anything (reasonable :-) that you would like added.  Turn around would likely be the same day; it's a pretty simple process.
 
Currently, the Cnfm flag MUST be set to consider the QSO.  This was what the requestor wanted.  I could change the program to consider the eQSLCnfm and/or LoTWCnfm flags as well.
 
Let me know if you are interested.
