[Dx4win] LOTW and DX4WIN

[n4dsp]

Why is it and it's not just with this reflector when post's come out 
like mine
expressing dissatisfaction with DX4WIN and expecting and willing to pay
for revisions, the DX4WIN Addicts come out stating exactly what Erkki 
stated?

I choose DX4WIN years ago because it was progressive and on the move unlike
the contemporary logging programs at that time and in the past 4 years 
it has
gone into exile.

Erkki if you like and enjoy the updates from Jim AD1C great. Your a happy
camper. I like DX4WIN also but I want my logging program to continue to
be one of the best and up to the times. If we use your approach Erkki in
regards to computer OS we would all be running Windows 3.5 or even DOS
in today's world.

You stating you have to express a different view? Well that "different view"
is occuring now for the past 4 years. Nothing. Nothing while we wait 
patiently
for change. Not everyone is content with the status quo. Some of the 
DX4WIN user's
I know have moved onto DXLAB because of the status quo and have not looked
back.

Don't see any change coming from Paul. Only country, node, and other file
updates. Thank God for Jim because if not for his dedication this DX4WIN
would have gone the way of the dinosaur by now.

Once again if Paul doesn't want to do some revisions then sell the company
to someone who would love to.

Regards,
