[ct-user] Importing CT9.39 to DXBase 4.6 (DOS)

I just upgraded to 9.39 for WPX from CT7.xx.  Procedure here has been to
import CT contest logs into DXBase 4.6 which is my master log.  No problem
importing version 7.xx for more than 15 past contests and 18,000 qsos. 

When I imported Sunday's WPX log from version CT9.39 to DXBase 4.6, all the
times in DXBase were exactly 7 hours earlier than recorded in CT which was
correct.  The date also followed the time...DXBase's database shows me
starting the contest at 1700Z on Friday instead of 0000Z on Sat.

FYI: DXbase has an import utility for CT.  One option is for version 7
xxxx.bin files and the other is for CT version 8/9 files. I used the proper
one. 

I realize this may be a DXBase problem and not CT....but I have never had
problems importing version 7.  Any ideas?

PS: Yes, thank God, I backed up the master log before the import and was able
to restore the 18,000 QSO file to just before the contest.
