[Dxbase] Dxbase Digest, Vol 145, Issue 2

[Lou Laderman]

I guess the good news with DXBase is that it fits in the "if it's not
broken, don't fix it" category. Thanks to Joe, there are plenty of
workarounds, additions, repairs, troubleshoots, etc. I'm with the majority
of users on here, it's a familiar, well designed program that does most
everything I need.

Joe, you just have to live forever to keep this program humming along for
the group. ;-)

73, and thanks!

Lou, W0FK

Hello to all DXbase users!!

After knowing now that the future of DXbase is truely dead, I want all who
want to stay with DXbase2007 - knowing that the current
DXbase2007 is the final version - to know that I am staying with
DXbase2007 myself!  

The reasons for my staying with DXbase2007 is that:

(1)  I can help anyone else who is going to stay with DXbase2007.
(2)  I can still program standalone utilities, reports, etc for DXbase2007.
(3)  At my age (72 yrs) - and with my Operating habits - DXbase2007 is good
enough for me. I tried all of the other logging programs and just can not
find one that is even close to what DXbase2007 offers.

I will NOT hope for any further versions of DXbase - as after Neal's
ownership of DXbase for the past going on 7years - and promises that just
never come about - I have to totally given up any hope.

NOTE!!  I may be kicked-off the DXbase Reflectors, for what I am saying here
 - so, when I say my 73's below - it might really be 73's.

YES!  While Neal is on his vacation - if anyone has a requirement for a
DXbase2007 reg file (new or changed) - I can help you out directly.
Neal gave me the EXE program that MAKES the reg file - so that I could help
people out and not have to bug him each time that I needed to make a REG
file here at my QTH.

ALL the VERY BEST from Joe WA6AXE

73,
