upgraded to accomodate K8CC's change of text file

were placed in the flag field.

displaying improperly on the report headings.

6 meters and above.

line when you had a full frequency field.

in the Master Log program, the UTC offset set in the
System Parameters was not being considered.
VERSION 3.5 September 1991
ENHANCEMENT 1: A demonstration program has been added
for distribution to your friends.
FIX 1: There was a technical glitch with the Global
Feature in the Master Log program.
VERSION 3.6 October 1991
ENHANCEMENT 1: Full support of monochrome monitors has been
added.
ENHANCEMENT 2: Reports may be sent to files for later
SCREEN viewing.

Provinces and Incoming VE1 QSL Bureau address, thanks VE1CH.
FIX 2: Had a problem with exporting to a ASCII file in the
Transfer Logs program. The format was off slightly for the
alphabetical order and the program would crash for
cronological order.
FIX 3: The selector was having accuracy problems when
selecting on date when you had your system set to the
dd/mm/yy date format.
FIX 4: When importing files in the Transfer Files program,
17 Meter contacts were incorrectly converting to 21 mhz.
FIX 5: Non U.S. "A" prefixes were being placed in the
incorrect log file. The One Call feature in the QSL
Card program couldn't find them. If you have some calls
with this prefix in your files, you should adjust them.
See Manual Update Instructions on how to do this.
FIX 6: K1EA changed his file format on his Version 7.0.
The Transfer Files program now automatically determines
the correct file version and imports properly.

a new call in the Master Log program, you would enter a
looping error.

ENHANCEMENT 1: The ITU and CQ Zones are automatically
identified for US States. The program looks first for
a recognizable state in the QTH field otherwise the zone
is based on the callsign. Because zones often split
states and call areas, identification will not always be
accurate and is subject to operator confirmation.
FIX 1: If you used the Options Menu in the QSL Card print
program, the program would lock up.
FIX 2: If you had more than 2500 QSOs in any one log file,
the scroll bar in the Master Log program would perform
incorrectly.

printing QSL cards.

most position, it would not display on the screen.

Yukon were not being identified properly.
FIX 6: There was a technical glitch when using the
Selector to compare frequencies.
