[Dx4win] Custom award migration to DX4WIN 9.01

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

As Paul mentioned in his release announcement, the custom awards
database has undergone some changes.  Some awards were re-named, and
there were some changes to the custom award values.  Note that in the
QSO window, the Custom award and Custom award value fields show the
abbreviations, not the full names.  You can do a custom award report
to see the full names.

If you are tracking custom awards in DX4WIN, you should probably
perform a migration.  This will result in changes to your log, so make
sure to save the changes if you are satisfied with the migration.

    QSO | Multiple QSO Operations | Check Custom Awards

You will get a prompt like the following:

    Checking Custom Award for 153811 QSOs
    Are you sure

Click Yes.  When it is done, you may see something like the following:

    One Custom Award value could not be converted
    Look for AWDERR: in the QSO notes field

These are examples of some of the error messages you see in the "Notes
for this QSO" field:

    AWDERR: Awd=WLHA AwdV=0029 Msg=Bad award value2
    AWDERR: Awd=ARLH AwdV=GUA 005 Msg=QSO not good for award2

The first message means the abbreviation for the custom award value
was not recognized.

The second message means that the QSO was made before the award start
date, or after the award end date.

If you find any such AWDERR messages in error, please let me know and
I'll update the database.
