Related to our interest in running DX4WIN under Linux, there was
this new "awareness" annoucement, and current releases claim to
run native windows DLLs if you have them. Not sure everyone has
tried that, or if 6.04 inclusion of a driver interferes with that option.
If so, maybe we can get a 6.04L

Is anyone successful in using the Linux Windows emulator
to run DX4WIN 6.04 or any earlier version? Thanks!

I think this is a great idea. I've always wondered why the only
things you can put on the label are groupname and the first
word of the Callsign Notes field. Why not "field" the QSO Notes
entry, too? Thanks, David.

There isn't a solution readily available, since this is typically
an ISP inactivity timeout. I've sometimes found that using
a DXcluster node on a different ISP helps.
Opening the packet window and hitting helps,
or running Tardis with really aggressive time sync settings.

My workaround is to use Adobe Acrobat as my printer,

which probably isn't an option for most folks. But Adobe
forces a wider margin, so some of the right end of the
