Hi, Bob, Well, your reply went to me, rather than the whole group, so I will forward it on.
I am afraid there is no easy fix for substituting any other character for the dot or asterisk; those characters are hard-coded into the program. They would need to be defined in the program as a variable, and a way provided for you to set that variable. Not a real difficult programming task, but not a high priority, in the scheme of things. Maybe you need new specs... I have upgraded to each new version, although not usually right when a totally new version comes out - I wait for the bugs to be fixed.. 73, John -----Original Message----- From: Bob [mailto:robertlar...@att.net] Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 5:36 PM To: k2...@arrl.net Cc: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Pre-1975 CW QSOs Amen... Well, almost my as QSO's only go back to '56. I'm still using version 5.02. Based on my usage of the program there is no incentive to update it. A fix for this "bug" would provide one. Another issue I have, and I'll state it is mine not a bug, is with the reports. If I do a Report/DXCC/Listing what happens is that a never worked is a dot and a fully confirmed and credited item is an asterisk. More than once these tired eyes have been confused and not seen the difference. So what I would love to see is the ability to change these. Say leave the dot out and have a blank or substitute a dash in it's place. Or make the asterisk an X or something so the difference is more easily discernible. If not to be part of an update/upgrade does anyone know how to do this? 73, Bob K2TK J.F. Samuels wrote: >I have CW QSOs dating as far back as 1952.
