[Logic] Re: [YCCC] LoTW Problems for Beta Testers !!!

[R Johnson]

Partially true Jim !!!

Using "ADD/REMOVE" programs will remove SOME of the LoTW program, however there are
many hidden files and folders that don't get removed!!!

Having had problems with the earlier Beta Versions I tended to take a more conservative
approach to removing the V1.04Beta that I Had installed.  When I had earlier problems
the LoTW people had me delete many other files to allow V1.03beta to function.

When I saw this statement on the ARRL/LoTW web page, I took exception !!! 
"(To delete a certificate, click on the certificate in TQSLCert, then select Delete from
the Certificate menu. You'll need V1.05beta or later to do this.) !!!

Knowing that V1.04beta was the last version released to the Beta Testers, I urged caution
knowing V1.05beta didn't EXIST (to us)!!!

I contacted the ARRL at 12:01PM on 9/16/03 and by 12:26 PM on 9/16/03 they had edited the
LoTW Web Page, changing "V1.05beta" to "V1.04beta"  thus ending ANY confusion !!!
