Dear Roger,
At some point (DX4WIN Ver 6.04?) FGREP stopped working. I searched around and came up with a more modern search program. Here is the bat file I call QSL.CMD (in DX4W604\EXTDATA) that is called by F3 in DX4WIN: ECHO OFF ; Don't print this qgrep.exe -y -e %1 QSL.TXT>TMPQSL1.TXT ; Search for this call in QSL.TXT and add it to TMPQSL1.TXT qgrep.exe -y -e %1 WWHAM.TXT>TMPQSL2.TXT ; Also search WWHAM.TXT and add it to TMPQSL2.TXT COPY /A /Y TMPQSL1.TXT + TMPQSL2.TXT MAN.RES ; Copy both results to MAN.RES TYPE MAN.RES ; And type out MAN.RES QGREP.EXE is available on the Internet.

At one time I had it working with a version of DX4Win but I can't seem to get it to work now. I've gone back through the archives with no luck. The batch file I'm using extracts the info from the text file but doesn't seem to copy it to manager.res. Any ideas? 73, Roger
