I know, but that's basicly everthing I need...it works perfectly for me.

Ok, good to know. I just chose the cabrillo format because it was one of
the two formats WT can import.


I think I'll try to get the cards from the old logs printed and start a
new DXped. mode database for my daily logging. In case I need to search
through the old QSOs I just use LM or something.
