[Dx4win] What reporting would be useful for Custom Awards?

[Kostas Stamatis]

I keep tracking for Japan prefectures (and cities and guns also), German 
doks,  Russian oblasts (as Russian districts). So probably i will need some 
day this tool for these awards but i am not sure if i need something better 
from what dx4win makes.
But...
I think dx4win needs improve basic awards reports. For example i wish i had 
Lotw or cards priority in dxcc or i wish i had all reports ready to submit.
