I just checked.  The check boxes in the ADIF to DX4WIN program are NOT
redundant.  Because DX4WIN is importing a DXQ file, and that file
specifies all logbook fields, DX4WIN does not try to override those
fields based on the QSO Preferences.  However, as I said, eQSL and
LoTW have separate checkboxes.

I hope to release the latest program today, it's been on the back
burner for too long.  A future version (when I have time) will
remember the settings of the check boxes so you do not have to check
or uncheck them each time (to override the defaults).
