[CQ-Contest] N1MM+ hacked? -- resolved

[Art Boyars]

Even though I was afraid I would lose my old contest files, I decided to
just re-install N1MM+.  (I had already (foolishly) uninstalled N1MM+, but I
had old Cabrillo and ADIF files stored elsewhere, so losing the versions in
N1MM+ would not have been a disaster.)

Worked like a charm, and the old files -- and various settings -- were
right there.  I did not even have to turn off the AVG.

Thanks, again.

73, Art K3KU
