[Dxbase] DXBase/Colorable DXCC Map

[Joseph Glockner]

To All:

After talking with Eric about his thought on outputting a "pin"
file from DXbase (using the Crystal Reports) -- I have been able
to start writing a "report" that will do just that!!  The
report will provide the info needed for making a ( *.lst ) file
which I am calling   dxccpins.lst  ... That "Ascii" file can
then be "loaded" into the DXAtlas program - and you can see
the status of all of the entities in the "color of the pins".

Since DXAtlas itself doesn't have a "yellow pin" - I am
programming the colors to be:

Red pin = entity not worked at all (Mixed)
Blue pin = entity worked but not cfmd (Mixed)
Green pin = entity worked and cfmd (Mixed)

So, YES!! We can provide a "pin DXCC map" that you can then output
as a bmp photo file and then "print it".

I will be continuing to work on this new report and will advise
when done.. programming ALL of the entities in will just take
time.

Wanted to pass this info along to all as FYI.
