Seymour,
As an old dBase user I can sympathize with you.
WL will do an ASCII export, then import it to dBase, or import the ASCII file
to EXCELL and save it as a .DBF file.
To do the last conversion you will have to set your computer calendar to
12/31/00 when you export the EXCELL file as .DBF or dBase will not recognize it
(Yea, this is a doozy, but true, ask Bill Gates becuz I don't have a clue as to
why this is so. M/S will not comment on this "feature".)
If you are not comfortable with dBase imports and manipulating the fields,
forget it and get LOGIC5.
LOGIC uses visual FoxPro and the commands are very similar to dBase. As
pointed out in another post, Dennis at LOGIC will convert the files for you.
Jim
The Problem:
Recently purchased Writelog in time for the CQWW DX CW contest.
Great software. Surpasses other contest software that I have used.
Now I need a method to convert any output from Writelog to a dbase III file.
Background:
Have been using Dbase III Plus as a logging program long before windows
logging software was available.
Other contest software that I have used always provided a method to convert
the output to
Dbase III. Several dbase files containing literally thousands of records have
discouraged me from
attempting to convert the files to a modern logging program.
KA5WSS logcon conversion program does convert the ADIF file from Writelog to
a dbase file.
Unfortuneatly Dbase III doesn't recognize it a .DBF file.
Hope someone out there can come up with a solution.
73,
Seymour, K2XF
