Hi all,
First of all, thanks to the guys who supplied test data and tested the beta
on their precious logs! Second, thanks to everyone for their patience.
The link to download the DXBUpdater is at
www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/DXBUpdater.zip Download and unzip it, then
double-click on DXBUpdater.exe Your current refdata,mdb and log file will be
backed up in the folder containing DXBUpdater. You can always revert to that
if you have problems.
The updater has 2 major updates in it:
1. The necessary changes for the PJ changes in the Carribean. These include:
- setting the delete flag for PJ2 and PJ7
- adding for new entities
- adding a new entry for IOTA SA099 for Curacao
- scanning your log and changing prefix allocations if the log date is
greater than 2010-10-09 and assigning SA099 to Curacao contacts after
20101009.
2. Major updates to the Prefix Alias database and Callsign exception
database, courtesy of our friends at www.clublog.org. This results in adding
abt 3500 new prefix aliases as well as a great many callsign exceptions.
This ensures that you are getting vetted, accurate information embedded
inside of DXB for historical contacts.
I hope you will enjoy using DXBUpdater! If you find the
clublog.orgadditions usefule, go to their website and donate
generously!
Note to beta testers: There was a bug which allowed single-digit CQ Zones to
be imported into the refdata.mdb. You should fall back to the backed up
version of your databases, redownload the program and apply it again. This
ensures you will not have any 'arguments' with the table initializer routine
within DXBase.
