[WriteLog] Re: [DX4WIN] DXTelnet

[WA9ALS - John]

Thanks for the recent dialog, John - I think it has helped us both!  I
had DX Telnet going with Writelog, but hadn't tried it yet with DX4WIN.
I started trying last night, but didn't get it.  After your post below,
I tried again, and got it going with DX4WIN.  However, I still didn't
know how to get DX Telnet going exporting spots to BOTH DX4WIN and
Writelog AT THE SAME TIME, which it's advertised to do.

I finally figured it out using the DX Telnet DUPER program.  This is
exactly what DUPER does - exports the spots to two different programs.
I did as you say below, except that the DX Hunter link link is
C:\DXTELNET\DUPER\ and when you run DUPER, enter the 2 paths:
C:\DXTELNET\DXT2WL\
C:\DXTELNET\DXT4WIN\
and the spots will flow to both programs!  Too much fun!  Guys, if you
haven't tried DX Telnet, it's great.  Lots of filtering options, ability
to connect to multiple clusters - RF and Internet, and it will even page
you with that DX spot you're waiting for while shopping for the Xmas
tree with the XYL!  Cudos to Fab and the DX4WIN and Writelog authors!
