Are you saying the SETDUPE command did not work?

Column alignments have no significance in Cabrillo - all that
matters is that each field in a QSO record is separated by at
least one space - the number of spaces is not significant.

It's LM that is incompatible with Cabrillo :-)

However, it's easy to change SDCHECK's Cabrillo column
alignment - by editing the MAP parameters in the template
file QHSC.TPL.

Here are the parameters

MAP    :41 3 44        'RST Sent
MAP    :FIXED 0 48     'Membership Number Sent
MAP    :27 12 54       'Call Rcvd
MAP    :50 3 67        'RST Rcvd
MAP    :54 8  71       'Membership Number Rcvd

The last parameter says - starting at the 54th character in
the .ALL QSO record, take 8 characters and place them in
the Cabrillo .LOG QSO record starting at the 71st character
postion (leading and trailing spaces are trimmed).

You are free to edit these parameters so that LM will accept
them :-)
