Yes, but.

Perhaps as long as you are simply importing adif files into a logging 
program there will be no problem. Don't, however, try to import an 
N1MM Logger adif file into WriteLog or vice versa. I tried it once 
when I was having a problem with one of them (don't remember which) 
and while it appeared to work at first, the contest would not score 
correctly and the entire effort was wasted.

Just a word to the wise if you're ever tempted.
