Jim,

In looking at my C:\ProgramData\WriteLog folder my namedmul.ini file shows a Date Modified of 09/23/2009. This file does not contain the counties for either MS or ND. There is also a file called NamedmuliniGuidance.txt with a Date Modified of 11/16/2009. The contents of this file indicates that last time it was edited was on 15Mar2004. So apparently neither one of these files has been updated recently.

However, I also see in C:\ProgramData\WriteLog individual ini files for both MS and ND. The msqp.ini file contains all the MS counties and the ndqp.ini file contains all the ND counties. There are also files for mnqp.ini, moqp.ini, nyqp.ini, ohqp.ini, etc. So apparently there has been a change in how the various state QSO Party multiplier files are now maintained and updated. Rather than having the country information in the master namedmult.ini file they now reside in individual state ini files. I suspect this makes updates for the various state QP modules easier to support rather than having everything mushed into a single ini file.

73,
Gary AL9A

This is my file:

9/15/2012  20:18          17,880  namedmul.ini

Is there a file that's more up-to-date?  Mine does not have the MS
counties (I did not check others).

Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C
