When I setup Writelog for the CQWWCW contest Friday, I must of move the cursor 
down one as instead of getting the CQWW log, I got the CQWWWPX instead.  Of 
course I did not realize it until about 50 qso's into the contest.  I was 
wondering why the CQ Zones did not fill in automatically.   Then I saw that the 
field was for the PFX and not zone.

So I exported the file in ADIF format, started a new log with the correct CQWW 
contest and did an import.   Just like that, all the qso's were there, except 
no zones.  I hand entered the zones off the old log, then saved and exit.  When 
I opened it, all the scoring was then up to date and away I went.

I don't know if this would have been possible with the old TSQ format.

Anyway, it saved the day.  No problems with Writelog except for the bandmap 
overflow.
