[Logic] "CW" vs "CWN" solved

Sun, 18 Jan 2004 21:17:45 -0500

Actually, I have suggested to Dennis that he round to the nearest KHz in
ADIF exports and such...

There should be a Round function in Foxpro... It's probably something
like : ROUND(Variable,precision)

Perhaps someone with a Foxpro manual can enlighten us.
