[Dxbase] SAT users with DXbase2007 -- pse read

[AE5B]

Same thing with CAS-4A and CAS-4B.

One comment though. Two items in the adf file have to manually edited if 
you are not using Joe's Autoload program. When you go from QO100 to 
QO-100 or CAS4A to CAS-4A you are adding an extra character to SAT_NAME 
and that number also must be changed....or at least that is what I 
finally found was needed for me to upload CAS-4A and CAS-4B.


One other warning. Don't get satellite happy and start adding bird after 
bird when you go into Database Access/Satellite Names. After about the 
14th or 15(?) line, DXbase 2007 gets very unfriendly. If I remember 
right, it completely locked everything up, requiring a hard 
reboot....and guess what? All your carefully typed and sorted names go 
POOF!!! Being somewhat of a slow learner, it happened to me twice. Win 
XP box in use. YMMV with other Operating Systems.
