Hi Thomas,

For now, "search and exchange" is the only way.  But I am curious why
you would want to import this report into DX4WIN?  It will not help
set any of the DXCC award flags.

This is a new file type available from the ARRL.  It's not of much use
to DX4WIN users, other than to look at it visually.  I will soon
modify my "Compare DX4WIN DXCC Credit Status with LoTW" program to use
this file, instead of trying to save the Award Credit Matrix as an
HTML file:

    http://dx4win.ad1c.us/lotw/

But that work is several weeks away right now.
