[Dx4win] DX4WIN Data Updater

[Dan Violette]

I sent Alan a message that did not make it to the group.

Basically:  Jim's list is so accurate any personalized QSL Manager file is
most likely useless for anyone.  Jim has all someone would have personalized
into their file and has more accurate dates for manager changes.  I gave up
doing my own a few years ago and leave it to Jim since he is so selfless
doing all the work!  I wish I had another way to thank him than just written
kudos.

It is not, and can not be supported.  The updater over-writes your existing
country file, which contains the QSL managers.  You would have to export the
QSL managers before the update (and only DX4WIN can do that), update, then
import them into the new country file.  There is no way for the updater to
"call" DX4WIN to do the export and import.
