[Dx4win] Any interest in a program that compares two logs?

[Lee Hallin]

Do to logging on more than one PC, I found myself with multiple copies of my log.  Some logs had changes in older QSOs while other logs had changes in more recent QSOs.
 
I am working (have it working, mostly) on a program that reads .DXQ files for two logs and presents field values, side-by-side, from matching QSOs (date,time,call,band and mode are the same).  There is also a column with "<>" in it indicating that the values for that field differ.
 
The program only displays QSOs with at least one field that differs.
 
You can also control which fields are displayed when a QSO with differences is found.
 
You can also select which fields to check for differences.
 
Other options, for now, allow you to ignore case, ignore leading and trailing spaces and/or don't consider a field "different" if the "older log" entry has spaces where the newer log has a value.
 
Eventually, I plan to add an "output" option where it will write a .DXQ record from the "older", "newer" or "both" logs to a file that you can then edit and/or import to a log file.
 
If you are interested in trying the program, let me know and I'll get in touch with you soon.

P.S.  I can send screen prints if you want to "see" what I [tried to] describe above!
