I presently have the RAC installed on the hard disk.
DXBase searches that just as if it was on a cdrom
JUST FASTER...
The QSL INFO window fill automagically and instantly.

Prior to that I used Buckmaster with the same success.
I never used the QRZ cdrom but expect it to work the same.

I do suggest that if your qsling a important (read: RARE) DX qso, you also check 
Pathfinder for any latest info.
Pathfinder can be accessed by the PF icon and includes alternate sources of qsl address 
data.
