Hi Paul,
I'm sorry to report that my recent down-load of the latest version of SDI had
the same problem others have reported.
My OS is WinXP, Rig IC756PRO2, CAT IC-CT 17.
The rig control worked well, both Frequency and Band were displayed correctly.
Winkey also worked with no problems.
I had entered as a 12 hour contestant, and had done some 'in-SDI' editing as
per the manual.
I closed down at 00.30 on Sunday morning and restarted at 09.00 on Sunday
morning.
SDI would not run, I received the error message: 'This file has been edited by
another program, some files are out of sequence' . I was credited with 117
QSOs and 45 Multipliers.
I knew I had made more than that, so looked in the .ALL file. I could see then
that it had been somewhat scrambled and I had in fact 227 QSOs.
I made a copy of the file and was later able to recover the 227 QSOs to type
into my main log.
This is in no way a complaint. I, and others, appreciate the work you put into
SD. It's just to let you know what happened.
Unfortunately, the problem did not show until it was too late. The best way to
test the program is in an IOTA contest. I'm not asking you to give up your
day-job to fix SDI - however, it is possible that you have a previous version
of SDI which ran OK before amendments were made to it. Could you make such a
tried-and-tested version available on the web page please?
Best Wishes,
TOM / G0PSE
Tom Taylor
