[Dxbase] Joe wa6axe - I have taken down the Online DXCC adi file make -- NO GOOD

Wed Apr 4 00:16:12 EDT 2012

ALL DXbase 2007 users ...

Sorry guys --- but -- the ARRL Online DXCC website server's "Import adi" routine is playing with 
our Impoorted ADI FILE -- so, with that being the case -- I have taken down the ability of anyone
else downloading the adi file maker program that I made -- 

Guys - it will NOT be worth it until the ARRL gets their Import adi file routine squared-away ...

Right now - you can type in and the order you type-in (yep -- by hand only) will STICK all ok --
they will be VIEWED in "reverse order" from what you want them to be -- but -- at least they
stay how you poked them in ---

When you IMPORT an ADI FIle -- and that adi file is in a CERTAIN sequence --- the software 
at the ONLINE DXCC website server PLAYS-WITH the ORDER you sent and therefore - the advantage of
the ADI file is BS .... just not worth it -- since YOU MUST put your QSL cards into the PRINTED
RECORD SHEET ORDER -- well - sorry - to say -- but, the order JUST GOT changed in mid-stream by
the ARRL ONLINE DXCC webserver ---

Here is the adi file input (test) that I sent up to the IMPORT adi webpage:

and --- view for yourself guys -- HERE is the manner in which that SERVER plays-with the order we
wanted the QSOs to stay in --- here is a screen-capture of the imported qsos - as viewed on the
Enter QSL webpage ---

As you can see - the server software put them into Band/Mode order .... so - guys - it is NOT worth having something
available to you that CAN NOT be used (right now) as we want it to be handled ... 

Just FYI ----
