Too many to reply to individually, so I'd like to thank you all here for the 6.01 upgrade procedure. What a great reflector!!! Thanks again to all... 73/Carter/K8VT
[Dx4win] Upgrade info?
Let me make a recommendation: Don't merge the old CTY file to the new one! Do it vice verse! Put your old CTY file into the new 6.01 Save directory and merge the new CTY file to it. This way the Country settings will be kept correct. E.g. BUREAU (Y/N). I have changed the BUREAU flags for many countries in my old CTY file (somebody once sent a posting to the reflector on needed changes to bring this buro thing up to date) and those flags are not coming over to the new file by merging the old file to the new one. Are there any shortcomings in merging it the other way around? I did not notice. 73 tonno es5tv - Original Message - From: "ON4AOI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Carter Grabarczyk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 12:54 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Upgrade info? > Hi Carter, > > 1.

Anyone have simple, step-by-step instructions for upgrading to 6.01? Just unzip it and it does the rest? What about your countries (e.g. K1B,), preferences, etc? Paul sent me the new license file (yourcall.key) and said to install it in the directory where the dx4win.exe file is kept. Is this where the existing 5.03 exe file is and the new program finds it or put it where the new 6.01 exe file will end up? I don't remember having to (knowingly) use a *.key file when I bought/installed 5.03. I think it just asked me to type in the key I received via e-mail. Sorry for the questions, but from the upgrade snippets I've been reading on the reflector, it really doesn't seem intuitively obvious. I would rather do it right the first time... ;-) Again, any simple, complete step by step for the entire process? Thanks in advance, 73/Carter/K8VT
