I agree if not for Jim I would be gone - if Paul wants this to continue
he best make some changes

All,
My two cents....this is not a matter of making money off DX4WIN.
Nobody expects to get rich especially when dealing with us frugal hams.
How many of us would stay with DX4WIN if Jim AD1C didn't provide those
valuable adjuncts? I venture to say, I would have walked long ago
along with many on this reflector.
1. Is DX4WIN my program of choice? Yes, it is the most stable, easiest
to use and demands less of my CPU than the others. Is it the most MS
DOS 3.0 looking interface? Yes!
2. Is DX4WIN is dire need of a facelift, Yes! Does it have warts? You
bet.
3. Does DX4WIN need improvements. Yes!(LOTW interface, multiple
cluster sourcing, new rig files (FT3K ), etc.)
Here's my bottom line- would I recommend DX4WIN to a new user with the
current level of support and frequency of updates from the author, no
way. Start with DXLabs and go forward.
In my opinion, this is a matter of continuing support of a product. If
we want enhancements, we should pay for them but to ignore
enhancements, withhold support or walk away for weeks/ months on end
from DX4WIN isn't playing right with the users. To continue to sell
DX4WIN to new users isn't going to make anyone rich but there is a
unwritten contract that goes along with the sale of the software,
which is continuing support of the product.

that
has been done to keep it up. I have found it to be the premier
package on
the market. However, once I downloaded DXLab, I was hooked. I am a
bit more
of a software "techie" than most perhaps, but, there are so many
features
and things that I have always thought "What if". There is a great
overview
presentation on DXLab on the website (
http://www.dxlabsuite.com/Presentations/) I think for many, it will seem
overwhelming and then the choice would be DX4WIN, no question.
Not a commercial for DXLab...just my thoughts

My personal problem is that I have used DX4WIN for so long it will be
difficult to train my fingers to use a different program. Let us
know how
your migration proceeds. I would be particularly interested in any
incompatibilities you might find, especially any DX4WIN features you
might
find are not available in DXLab.

Has anyone migrated to DXLab?? Any comments on how it compares to
DX4WIN? I've been playing with it seems to have a lot of nice
features.
