BUG in CQP!!!--confirmed

[W. Wright, W5XD]

KI0LO found a serious bug in the CQP contest for WL. It is ONLY in
the OUTSIDE CA version. He also points out the solution:

1. If you FIle Save a CQP file, when you File Open it again later, it
doesn't know what contest its for.
2. DO NOT PANIC.
3. With the existing log open, do a FILE NEW
4. Choose CQP outside CA contest--you get an empty log
5.. Do a FILE MERGE
6. select the WL file that has your CQP data in it.

You now have a new log that knows the CQP and has all your old 
QSOs in it.

Keep the WL FILE OPEN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CONTEST.

THIS BUG IS ALSO IN THE PA QSO PARTY OUTSIDE PA MODULE.
IT WILL BE FIXED IN VERSION 9.13 RSN.

Thanks also to K5ZD for reporting the problem.

Looks like it's a bad idea to close WriteLog during the CQP... 

Tried to reopen my .wl file after taking some time off, and every item on
the Contest menu is disabled except "Recalculate Score" - which is
unfortunate as I need the Multipliers window open so I can figure out the
abbreviations for the California counties...  Plus I'll probably want to
save in ARRL format and create a summary sheet at the end of the 'test...

I found I could create a new file and pick File | Merge to pull in the old
file, but that only works as long as WriteLog is open - save the new file
and reopen and you're hosed.

Anyone have an idea what the problem is??
