[Logic] Re: Change in QRZ.COM "callbook from web" URL

[logic@mailman.qth.net]

Dear Bill:

Thanks for the info.

I just tried LOGic here as-is and it works fine without the .www.  
Maybe something was temporarily screwed up there.  I will add the 
.www, however.  It may save a response.redirect at the server. 

FYI, LOGic has a built-in dBASE editor.  Go to 
tools/advanced/database commands.  Open the file, then type 
EDIT or BROWSE.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY
