Given a callsign or prefix, DXView determines the associated DXCC entity,
reporting its location and beam heading from your QTH. DXView presents a
world map, upon which beam headings, stations you spot, the sun's position,
and the solar terminator are continuously displayed. DXView can also display
country maps for more than 250 DXCC entities. A PC running Windows 95, 98,
2000, or NT with an SVGA or better display is required.  DXView is free, and
contains no advertising. Commercial use is expressly forbidden.

Version 1.1.0 of DXView is available via
http://www.qsl.net/dxview/download.htm; This second beta release includes
several defect repairs, and the following enhancements:

  - reduced download size (now a mere 5.2 mb)

  - displays the continent, CQ zone, and ITU zone

  - improved DXCC database

  - interoperation with WinWarbler 1.8.8

If you've already installed a previous version of DXView, use the Windows
Add/Remove Programs applet to unintall it before installing this new
version. Do not, however, delete the DXView folder or any of its
subfolders -- this will save you from having to download the country maps
again, which have not changed since the original release.
