[WT-support] Importing a cabrillo file from N1MM

[Pete Smith]

What I generally recommend in this case is that people *create* a 
Cabrillo or ADIF file using the *receiving* program, and compare the 
format of the two files to determine what is incompatible with the 
receiving program's expectation.  Typically, you can then do a global 
search-and-replace using a word processor.

Another approach, if WT supports it, is to export an ADIF file from N1MM 
and import it into Win-Test.  You *may* still have to do the format 
check, but at least you won't have to deal with the Cabrillo header.
