[Dx4win] FW: lost QSO's

[Dick White]

Jim / AD1C

I finally have my full log back, thanks to you. I could not get the ks0m.~xb
file into DX4WIN at first. I finally saved it on a memory stick,  changed
the name to ks0m.dxl and then had DX4WIN open it and save it. All QSO's
through May 12 are now back in the log. It sure is a relief to get it all
back. It took me a while to understand what you were telling me. But, when
you are 4 months away from being 87 years old it just takes a little longer
to understand. 

I did put a call in the log and I did see the "modified" sign pop up. I was
not aware of why it did that.  It has been a while since I read the DX4WIN
Manuel J    From now on it is backup, backup, backup every time I add calls.

Thank you very much for you good help.

Copy it to a name with a .DXL extension, as I said:
