[WriteLog] IARU problem

>From the K9JY website:

"Changing the Day/Time   Top of Page

Sometimes our computers are off by an hour. Or a day. Here is a fast way to
modify the date and time on the QSO's.

 1.      Select all of the QSO's in a given hour by clicking on the first
and then, holding down the shift key, clicking on the last QSO for the given
hour. You will select all the Q's for the hour (00Z) as shown here:

Next, double click on a highlighted QSO in the Time column. A little dialog
box will come up as shown below. Change the highlighted hour to your correct
time, and click OK:

At this point, another dialog box opens asking to make the same change for
the rest of the highlighted QSO's. Answer 'yes.'

Once you select 'yes,' all the other highlighted QSO's (in my case, the 00Z
ones) will change to the new hour placed into the time box.

Note too that at your crossover point on the date, you can click on the date
in the highlighted QSO's as well and the same dialog box will work for the
date. So if you had 100 QSO's in hour 23 of the first day that should really
be in the next day, you could change the time and then change the date using
the same process."

You can see the screen shots under the "Post Contest" section of my web site
and click on 'Log Review.'

I notice that the score reported in the summary sheet differs from the 
cabrillo file by about 5000 points, while the number of QSOs is identical. 
Any thoughts?

I probably wouldn't have noticed except that I had the time set wrong on 
the PC so that everything is off by 4 hours (PC was set for GMT - last 
minute stupidity), so I have been trying to come up with a simple way of 
fixing this problem. So far, I have exported a spreadsheet and corrected 
the time and dates there. Does anyone know of a way to import something 
other than ADIF back into WL? I do have a program that takes comma 
delimited files (which I can generate from Excel) and makes ADIF from them 
- but it requires columns in a certain order, and then I'm not sure what WL 
will do with it. There are only 164 QSOs (limited time running QRP) so I'm 
wondering if all the effort in Excel will be worth it to generate ADIF, as 
I could just edit every time in the log instead.
