[Dx4win] Format for FT8 mode Input in ADIF file for TQSL?

[Steve Lund]

One way to solve the Mode length problem is to use a 3 character mode like
TOR. Then when you edit the ADIF file you can do a mass replace of TOR with
FT8. I did a similar action for MSK144.

I hope the Ver 9 DX4WIN has some sort of editable file for modes, much like
that used by TQSL.
