[WT-support] Friend.ini file

[AC0W]

Bob,
 
Actually this is very useful feature, to help you remember someone's name in
the middle of the contest when you aren't as sharp as you normally are.  I
would not use the file your message has the link to, especially since it has
some bad information and it has names of people I don't know so I don't
need.
 
I have created my own Friend file of people I know in Excel. I then have an
easy way to create the Friend file for N1MM, and Writelog from that one
Excel file.  The little information below helped me finally find the
information in the Win-Test Help file to tell me how to now make my own
Friend file for Win-Test.
 
When I just tried it, worked great. Thanks for pointing out how to do this.
 
Bill

Can the FRIEND.INI file be used in Win-Test ?
and if so how do I set it up.

I think you must be referring to the Writelog names database described here:


http://www.af4z.com/ham/


1.	Download FRIEND.INI, but save it in your Win-Test folder as
FRIEND.XDT (rename it) 

2.	Launch Win-Test


3.	Options, Data Files, Extra data files, Default extra data files,
check FRIEND.XDT, press [OK] 

4.	Select Windows, Extra informations (or just press Alt+X) 

5.	Type in a callsign like N6TR 

6.	Note that WT displays the incorrect name ("Theresa") instead of
"Tree" 

Are you sure you want to use this file? ;-)

73,
Bob, N6TV
