[Logic] QSO/Record number or serial number

Wed, 6 Aug 2003 09:21:22 -0400

Or occasionally reorganize the DB which restores the accuracy of the count.
I don't know about you, but I don't delete qso's very often.

I just joined this mail reflector... taking a look at the demo. Some thing I
like... some I'm not so sure... OTOH, there are a few things that annoy me
about my present software...

Hello to all...
