[Dx4win] DXLab

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

I have been following this thread with a mixture of nostalgia, sympathy, 
and annoyance.  Getting the annoyance out of the way first, I've been 
appalled by the tone of some of the comments. Anyone who thinks Paul has 
gotten rich off this thing in its >20 years of existenceis deluding 
himself.  When I wrote ham radio software, back in the 1980's, getting 
paid for it was something I regarded as a way of "keeping score" - that 
effort took thousands of hours, reducing my compensation to about 5 
cents an hour.

I was the first paying customer for DX4WIN, version 0.94, and am still 
up to date.  I recognize that it is increasingly in need of updating, 
and there are somethings it won't do that I now need, but it is still a 
clean and simple to use program.  I have tried three times to migrate to 
DXlab, thinking it would give me more of what I need, and each time I 
have given up, defeated by its complexity.  I am currently working to 
get comfortablewith Logger32, which does most of the things on my 
wish-list.  I certainly appreciate everything Paul and DX4WIN have done 
for me over the years, and, who knows, I may be back.

73, Pete N4ZR
