When I saw Fred's note, I tried to get the INITIAL EXCHANGE.." stuff working in my copy of 5.75 last night.   No joy.  

I made a INITIAL.EX file of the form:

CALL<sp>NAME<sp>STATE<CR><LF>
...

and tried making copies in the C:/LOG, C:/LOG/NAMES as well as the D:/CONTEST/NAAU96PH directory where my log file is.

Still no joy.  

What is going on here?  I is broken or are we doing something wrong?
