[NCC] Problem with SH5

Hello,

Is anyone still using the SH5 log analysis program these days?

I have not used it for several years but I am trying to analyze some 
logs from last year in anticipation of operating CQWWDX CW from 7J1AAI.

In the past, I was able to download public logs from the CQWWDX website 
and open them in SH5 and produce reports, but this year I find that SH5 
won't read the files that I download.  When I try to open them, I get 
the message "Wrong Format."  I have no trouble opening files that I 
downloaded years back that are still saved on my computer.

The only difference I can see between the old files that I can still 
open and the new ones that I cannot open is that the former are "Windows 
(CRLF)" when I open them in Notepad and the new ones indicate "UNIX 
(LF)".  SH5 does not like the latter.

It may be relevant to note that I am now using a different computer than 
the one I used a couple of years back when I last used the SH5 program.  
I am now using a Windows 10 laptop whereas previously it was probably 
Win 8 or earlier.

I have tried using a conversion program that is supposed to change Unix 
(LF) files into Windows (CRLF) files but SH5 won't recognize such files.

Does anyone understand my problem and know how to fix it?

Alternatively, are there any other good log analysis programs out 
there?  I just want basic stuff such as hourly rates, mult info, etc.

GL to all of you operating the SSB contest this weekend.  I hope to see 
everyone in SS CW next week.
