[WriteLog] Merging ADIF Files

[k0bx at arrl.net]

I guess there is many ways to do this.  EZ way is to
upload the files into a logging program and then
export the all the records to a adi file.  I did this
with DXBASE.

But if you are willing to go to "DOS" it is very easy.

In DOS go to the directory with your ADI files.

Copy FD2005.adi + FD2006.adi + CQWWSSB06.adi BIG.adi

You just add all files with a PLUS (+) and then it
will merge all of them into BIG.adi.

Remember ADI is just a text file and can be edited
with any text editor.

There is only one problem with this method.

There is two lines at the beginning of each ADI file
called a  header.  You only can have one header I
think, so you have to do a search and delete in the
BIG.adi file to get rid of the other ones.

This is what the header looks like:

WriteLog
<EOH>

Very simple, Writelog is the name of the program that
generated the ADI
<EOH> tells the upload program that now the data is
starting.
