[Dx4win] DX4WIN networking

[Vanderydt Theo]

Not true! It all depends on how you configure Dropbox on both computers. I have Dropbox on my PC and Laptop and only the .DXL file gets updated on my Laptop. When i by mistake would make any chances to my SAVE file on my Laptop nothing happens on my PC because that is how i want it. Besides that, i always have a backup in cyberspace in case both my PC and Laptop should crash.

Very bad idea if the programs are open simultaneously.

There is a workaround to have a constant backup/copy of your files on a 
second machine if you install Dropbox.
Dropbox is FREE.

DX4WIN is not designed to share its log file. It keeps QSOs in memory
and writes them to disk periodically, What this means is that if you
log a QSO on one machine it won't be seen on the others. That means
that QSOs will get lost (you log 3 QSOs on computer 'A', then go to
computer 'B'. It doesn't see those QSOs, so when you write the log on
computer 'B' they're lost).

Trying to do what you propose will quickly corrupt your log.
