[Dxbase] DXBase 2007

Thu Nov 4 18:42:53 EDT 2010

Hi Dick
The updater makes a copy of your refdata.mdb and your log file before
applying any changes. It also scans your log for contacts made with known
stations after 10-10-2010.
BTW, the official time for the new entities is 0400 on 10-10, so thats going
to be a part of looking for qsos to change!
I think even if you did the manual changes, you will want to run the updater
to get the new callsign exceptions and prefix aliases applied.
