[Dxbase] QRZ clarification

Thu May 4 18:39:55 EDT 2006

Peter,
To use the QRZ CD info with DXbase does NOT require you to use the QRZ 
installation. Here is the DXbase extract from the help file:
QRZ
QRZ contains a folder on the CD called Callbk. This is the folder that 
contains all of the address related files.
1. Using Windows Explorer, create a new folder on your hard drive under the 
root folder called Callbk. Do NOT place this new folder under other 
subfolders. It must be located directly under your root folder.
2. Using Windows Explorer, click on the left side on the Callbk folder of 
the CD.
3. You should see the address related files on the right. From the main 
menu, click Edit/Select All.
4. On the main menu of Windows Explorer, click Edit/Copy
5. Click on the Callbk folder that you created in step one above.
6. On the main menu of Windows Explorer, click Edit/Paste.
If the above was done correctly, you will have a folder on your hard drive 
with a full path of
 C:\Callbk where C is the designation for your hard drive
And, you will have the address related files listed on the right side of 
Windows Explorer
Following this, you must set DXbase user options to tell it about the CD 
path info:
CD-ROM Entries
1. Enter the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive or hard drive if you place 
the data on your hard drive.
2. Select the CD-ROM type from the CD-ROM drop down list
3. Enter the CDROM Data path as listed below:
Hamcall \HAM0\ ( that's a numeric zero )
 RAC \ ( that's a single backslash)
 QRZ leave blank
