V13.31    23rd November 2007

Resetting Dupes and Multipliers.
    Some domestic contests, notably in LA, VK and ZL,
    are split into two or more operating sessions, 
    with each session counting towards the final
    score.  You can work the same stations in each
    period without the later QSOs being flagged as
    dupes.

    The SETDUPE command was introduced for V9.15 in
    June 1998.  It reset dupe checking and the Check
    Partial display.

    SETDUPE now resets multiplier and dupe checking,
    and all corresponding display boxes.  Once you
    use this command, you must not edit QSOs from
    previous sessions.  If you do, there is no
    guarantee that SD will track dupes and mults
    correctly.

Display of non-English characters.
    The character set displayed by SD, in common with
    other Windows programs that run in console mode,
    may not always correspond to what you type.

    The CODEPAGE command lets you select alternative
    character sets - known as code pages.  Code page
    850 is the default option for SD and is recommended
    for most European and US keyboards.  The code page
    value is stored in SD's configuration file SD.INI.
    Code page selections are ignored when they are not
    supported by your PC.

    CODEPAGE works with WinXP.  It may not work with
    earlier versions of Windows.

    Regardless of the code page selected, some non-
    English characters will not display correctly when
    SD runs with a raster typeface.

    To change the typeface, click the SD.EXE icon at
    the top left of SD's window, select Properties,
    then Font.  Select the Lucida Console TrueType
    font, and choose an appropriate typeface size such
    that SD's window is as large as possible on your
    screen.

Country .CTY Prefix & Multiplier files:
    Updated - up to and including all published
    corrections by AD1C to 19th November.

    NORWAY.MLT updated.  Thanks LA6GF.

LZ DX Contest:
    Fixed the Cabrillo option in SDCHECK.

OKOM Contest:
    DX side - fixed a formatting error in display of
    earlier QSOs - they no longer overwrite part of
    the  multiplier window.

RSGB 1.8 MHz Contest:
    The Serial Received was blanked, but not lost,
    when tabbing to the District Code field. Fixed.
    
    Fixed a bug which prevented a UK station being
    logged as a dupe.
