>>
>> Here are the steps:
>>
>> 1.  Using your OLD version, go to File | Preferences.  Then File |

>> this file is! ***
>>
>> 2.  Install 9.01 and start it.  It should come up with the default
>> configuration and a SAMPLE log.
>>
>> 3.  Follow the instructions you received with your license key.
>> DX4WIN cannot be running when you are installing the license key.
>>
>> 4.  Using the NEW version, go to File | Preferences.  Then File | Load
>> Configuration File.  Navigate to the file you wrote in step #1 above,
>> it's in your old DX4WIN SAVE directory.  Double-click on the file
>> name, it should be DX4WIN (or whatever you named it) and say
>> "Configuration File" to the right.
>>
>> 5.  Next, copy (don't move) your log file (<callsign>.DXL) from your
>> old SAVE directory to your new SAVE directory.   Right-click on the
>> file in the old location and choose COPY (not CUT). Then navigate to
>> the new SAVE directory, right-click and choose PASTE.
>>
>> *** The next step is VERY IMPORTANT ***
>>
>> 6.  Using the NEW version, go to File | Open Log File.  Click on the
>> down-arrow arrow next to "Look in...".  If the path is not the full
>> path to your DX4W901 SAVE directory, you must navigate there first.
>> When you see the <callsign>.DXL file, double-click on it to open it.
>> DO NOT OPEN THE LOG FILE IN THE OLD LOCATION!!!
>>
>>
>> That's pretty much all you have to do.
>>
>> Please post questions to the REFLECTOR, do not send me personal
