[WriteLog] Re: [DX4WIN] import help

[Ken K7ZUM]

try it this way, open up writelog with the contest you want to
import to dx4win, click on file, go to export, from there choose
"comma delimited ascii", writelog will save it in ur contest
folder as a .txt file, you can then open up dx4win and import
that one with the import routine in dx4win, works for me..
