Imagine being able to double-click once and almost immediately have
going:
1. DX Telnet
2. DX4WIN
3. Writelog
with spots from several telnet, webcluster, and RF sites flowing into
both programs at the same time, and no duplicates! Plus, you could be
outside shoveling snow and receive a page on your digital pager that
your favorite DXpedition has finally appeared!
I recently created a new web page dedicated to the setup of DX Telnet to
export spots to DX4WIN and Writelog
(http://www.qsl.net/wa9als/dxtelnet.htm). Getting it going requires
execution of 3 separate programs in addition to the main programs, and
several asked if it could be done by a batch file.
Probably even before you were asking, Fab was making it available!
There is now a Launcher program available that is a Windows program that
launches a batch file that is useful for many things, including:
1. It can launch the DXT2WL.EXE, DXT4WIN.EXE, and DUPER.EXE programs
necessary to export filtered spots from several telnet, webcluster, and
RF sites to DX4WIN and Writelog (at the same time), as well as the
programs themselves.
2. You can also set up different configurations of DX Telnet - For
example, one configuration for the ARRL 10M contest and a different one
for the RTTY Roundup. Maybe you want a special configuration just for
those times when you're RTTY DXing. Now you can specify your favorite
configurations and run all related programs just by double-clicking a
single icon on the desktop.
DX Telnet and it's new Launcher program are quite powerful even if you
are running DX Telnet alone and not either of the other programs.

Once again, HATS OFF! to Fab, and to Pawel (SP7PS) for putting a couple
of the programs on his server. 73 - GUD DXing!
Helpful suggestions and typo corrections welcomed! (Keepa u barbs to
yourself!)
Tnx - 73 - GUD DXing!
(No commercial connection - just happy user thinking these pages will
help!)
