[Dxbase] DXbase 2006

[Jack]

Hi Folks,

Well, its that time again and we have finally closed out the development 
effort for DXbase 2006.  Beta testing is complete and we are in the process 
of getting things ready for the new release to be made available.  If all 
goes well, we hope to have our web site updated in the next three or four 
days.

This year, we spent a lot of time reviewing the suggestions that were sent 
directly to us and we managed to complete about sixty enhancements/changes. 
Some of the highlights include some expanded fields in the log such as notes 
and wpx; some new fields; substantial updates to the prefix tables and wpx 
logic so that DXbase is even more accurate than ever in this area; county 
and state fields are available for labels; The width of Previous QSO window 
and others are now resizeable; added about 2000 new manager listings; new 
query options in Previous QSO module for Mode + prefix, state, etc...; added 
stats for combined rtty and digital; opr call is now used to determine what 
labels are printed; completely redesigned field order module making it 
simple to set up your column orders; new utility for performing backups; new 
utility for compacting and repairing your database; new utility for adding 
cd info to your existing QSOs; lots of new reports;  and a lot more....

We will also have DXbase 2006 available at the upcoming Dayton Hamvention at 
our usual location booth 455.  Looking forward to seeing many of you there.

More later.....please hold your questions about the release until after we 
can get our web site updated.

Thanks,
Jack
