The DX4WIN configuration is stored in binary mode (config.dat).
Configuration files are exported and imported as TEXT files.  With the
Preferences window open:

File | Write configuration file

will write a text-based configuration file.

File | Load configuration file

will load that text-based configuration file into DX4WIN.

When DX4WIN starts, it gets the configuration from the config.dat
file.  When DX4WIN exits, it saves the current configuration in the
config.dat file.

DX4WIN users should occasionally write their configuration to a text
file.  That way, if the binary config.dat file gets corrupted, it's
relatively easy to restore your last known good configuration.
