 BACKUP .......... YOUR PROGRAM FILES BEFORE DOWNLOADING A FILE................ BETTER TO BE SAFE THEN SORRY .............. YOU CAN ALWAYS REVERT TO WHAT YOU HAD WITH A GOOD BACKUP....................... ALL FILES OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FREE CATEGORY ARE NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND REQUIRE THAT YOU HAVE A REGISTERED VERSION OF THE PROGRAM TO RUN.

  
 

   

Many users were unaware that after installing the program the SETUP CD would again be required.   Those that were aware of this requirement (of all Windows programs by the way )  may still have their SETUP CD but that CD of course is outdated in many cases  and it also would require update files to bring the program back to the current versions. So with that in mind, and to make it possible for KWIKLOG users to  have access to a new SETUP CD and would therefore not force them to give up the program  I decided that I would make available to all current users of KWIKLOG programs  an updated SETUP CD for them that was FREE for downloading .    

After some confusing communications between MARAC and myself on how to make these files available for the old KWIKLOG users a MARAC decision NOT to make the files available has been rescinded and I am now advised that the files will be made available by MARAC.

Return to Top 

This action will give all users of the KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 and KWIKLOG CLASSIC programs the "freedom" to re-install their old programs in the future at any time should they have a need to do so or to install the program on a new computer, which of course is the main reason that the file is necessary.  

They will now be free to upgrade to the new MARAC updated version of the program or to continue with  the KWIKLOG program they are now using.   Their choice.  I applaud MARAC's president for making this decision. Naturally we can not expect MARAC to retain these files forever.   The KWIKLOG policy was to hold them for one year and I always advised my users the date a file would be removed.   I deleted all files to the first DOS version one year after the first Windows program was issued.  I deleted the first windows program files (KWIKWIN) one year after KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 came out.  KWIKLOG CLASSIC has already been released  yet I continue to make available all the files required for KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 and I would have done so until October of 2005.   In keeping with this support item, I will post on this web site  all of the files required and I will continue holding the files  UNTIL, March 2005  - the date that my contract with my ISP expires.   My Florida Occupational license to conduct business expires in a few weeks,  so I  will be unable to create or send these files via mail as I have done in the past to those that for one reason or another could not download files.   Therefore I strongly suggest that all users down load the needed attached files even if you have not decided what you will do when MARAC's program is ready for release. Those individuals that cannot download - make arrangements with a friend that can do it for you.   

There will be no changes of any kind made to these files after MARAC releases their program so make a note to download the files before January 1, 2005,  if possible,  or absolutely do so before my web site shuts down in March 2005.   

 NOTE -  The SETUP files when they become available will be partial files in that all files required to run the program will not be in the file.  Your backup files will be required to complete the program installation.  Be careful that you download the SETUP FILE for the program you are currently using and that you download the appropriate  EXE file for the screen resolution you will be using.

KWIKLOG LITE

The KWIKLOG LITE program  IS NOW  AVAILABLE as a FREE shareware program at the suggestion of many who have used the former Lite program for many years. The program has been redesigned to do one thing and that is to track your progress toward completion of the coveted CQ Magazine  ALL US Counties award.  It  tracks only that award or the MARAC all counties award.  It does however, create a log file that can be exported to KWIKLOG CLASSIC should you decide later that you want to track MARAC awards as well.   You are free to send a contribution  to assist in maintaining the web site if you enjoy the program and want to help in keeping it available to others.    There is no obligation to do so.   The file when downloaded can be used to INSTALL the entire program on your computer.  The program tracks the USA-CA award, prints MRC's (mobile reply cards). It has a built in call  database of active county hunters to expedite logging time, If you wish to pursue the award by working ALL CW the program allows you to set an option to automatically replace any SSB QSO with a CW QSO made subsequent to the SSB QSO thus allowing you to obtain the award with any QSO while creating an all CW Book. 

 

KWIKLITE.ZIP  - KWIKLITE    This is the ENTIRE KWIKLOG LITE  setup CD.  When downloaded it SHOULD BE UNZIPPED and COPED to a CD or a TEMPORARY folder and then  use the RUN  command to run  SETUP which will  install the entire program.   It is shareware.  You are encouraged to download the program for FREE, play with it, and if you can use the program and you enjoy it you are free to send a contribution to KWIKLOG to assist in maintaining this web site. There is no obligation to do so.   If you wish to use the Map program with this program you will have to also download the map program.

UPDATE #1 - 10--31-04 -State of WY has been added to states on CD.  Was omitted on the first CD.    Also deleted an erroneous county in LA.  Go to BOOK, Click on EDIT COUNTY name and click on EDIT # 0f counties after adding the WY and LA files found in the distribution CD below.   Thanks G4KHG, Eddie.

PLEASE NOTE:   The KWIKLOG LITE program, when downloaded and installed on your computer has a few entries preloaded in your USA-CA BOOK, in several counties.  These entries are for use in viewing the book and other reports when you first start running the program to get familiar with the program.   Once you have reviewed the program functions and are familiar with its operation and feel you are ready to begin logging your QSO's - Go to the con figuration file found under file on the home page, set the fields as you wish and then click on r=the RESET button to clear all data out of the books in preparation for you county hunting experience.   Have fun

CALL DATABASE FILES:

  NONUSA.ZIP * For all KWIKLOG PLUS programs EXCEPT the very first DOS version.  Permanent Calls database file. Now contains OVER 4000 calls of active county hunters.  This file is used by KWIKLOG to automatically enter the name, and home QTH of a call when you type that call in the log.  The file has been created by merging files of those  users who periodically send their copies of the file to us for the purpose of creating a larger and more useful database.     KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 creates a file NEWCALL.DAT whenever you log a QSO and the station worked is not in your database,  and you failed to add it to your permanent  file as you logged.   You can greatly improve the operation of your program by increasing the size of your file with active county hunters by going to the TEMPORARY call window and adding those calls that appear in the listing many times. (after which you can delete the file completely) Just remember that every time you work that station you will have to input data in the log that could be automatic if you take the time to use this file for the purpose it was intended.  

This file may delete any calls that YOU have added since it was last downloaded if that call has not been added to this list.  If you keep your list current I recommend that you do NOT download this file if you maintain a list of QSL Cards sent on the Permanent call file to determine who you need to send QSL cards to for 1st Contact  UNLESS you rebuild your file PRIOR to downloading this file.  Click on QSL CARDS in the Task bar on the Call database window for rebuilding the QSL CARD SENT data.

This file was recreated from the personal database files of many KWIKLOG users who so willingly  sent in their database file for merging into a much larger file  included many new county hunters, SSB and CW operators,  that have been worked in the past six months.    

  DOWNLOAD NONUSA.ZIP      File is dated  07-02-04.  For both Windows versions.
 
  You will loose record of QSL's sent if  you fail to Rebuild the list prior to adding to your program..

It also contains a list of all 2nd to Nth time numbers issued to the award holder, USA-CA numbers worked  as well as all BINGO and Multiple BINGO Award holders and dates. The file is used in many KWIKLOG  sub routines including logging, award determinations such as 5-Stars, Bingo,  Master Gold, etc. It should be kept t at all times for obtaining proper credit for all awards.  

This file should not be down loaded merely to keep your list current if you track USA-CA numbers worked unless you first run the create USA-CA numbers worked list PRIOR to downloading the file.  20Note: file has zero numbers worked.  All updates through 10-19-04  You will need to update the file with awards issued after that date.

KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 FINAL EXE FILES

KWIN2000.ZIP and KWIN20L.ZIP These two files are for use ONLY in the KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 program.  This program is no longer in distribution and  all updates to that program will cease in January 2005.  The update files will be permanently removed from this site in March of 2005.  We have completed a complete review of this program in getting it prepared for transfer to MARAC in Jan 2005. Many of the changes will make operational use of the program a little easier for those who will continue with the program after 2005.  We are making no additional functional changes to the program - just cleaning it up where we can.

Do not download if you have not installed KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 from a registered distribution CD. The ZIPPED file includes all the  files necessary to take advantage of all changes made since it was released.  It also includes any county line changes that have been made -- so if you download this file the file CLINES.ZIP listed under other files  does not have to be downloaded.  

BEFORE DOWNLOADING ANY FILES MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU BACKUP YOUR EXISTING COPY OF THE  FILE AND AFTER DOWNLOADING ANY ZIPPED FILE AND  BE SURE THAT YOU UNZIP THE FILE, AND COPY ALL THE FILES IN THE DOWNLOAD TO YOUR PROGRAM DIRECTORY.

     and SAVE
2 - Change then call of WB0DPD  to K9DCJ  and SAVE

10-01-04 -2 .... Also thanks to W0NAC, Matt,  The State and County Status print options will now allow a print of all states as well as the list for a single state and includes the five (5) new books in Classic. 

10-02-04 - 2 ....The ADD A NEW CALL to the USA-CA file (star.dat) has been modified to allow a dupe call to be added to the USA-CA/BINGO call database without use a fake call to modify as in the past.  You will still receive a notice that the call is a dupe but you now have the option to add the dupe call.   

10-03-04 -1 ...  Re-posted Classicl.zip to web to determine if 10-02-04-2 had a glitch. 

10-17-04 - The Fixed log was corrected to prevent a Master Platinum Award field entry from being changed from a Y to a N in error.  Fixed 10-17-04.   There is no data base for Master Gold  holders in KWIKLOG as there is at present only a few individuals who have earned the award/  There is NO automatic change of the N in the log default for credit to the Master Platinum Book.  If interest in the award increases and an increase in holders of the M-Gold award makes the effort worthwhile  KWIKLOG will create a file that can be used to make the change in the default to Y.         

10-17-04 # 2 - Repositioned ADD to LOG window in the 800 x 600 version (classicR)

10-20-04 - Several changes have been made to the logs . including (1) the number of records in log is now updated on the window as new QSO's are added,  (2) Station worked is now displayed for all new awards when the county is opened, (3) when a another QSO is logged, the defaults for the new awards are retained to eliminate having to re-enter the same change from the default, (4)  If you leave the window (for example go to the maps) and return the last QSO logged defaults are retained.  Makes logging a little easier and a label has been attached to the log entry form which alerts you to verify the Band, Mode and Frequency should you wish to go back to your normal preferred band and mode.   Thanks to NW6S Jim for the suggestions.   

10-25-04 - Fixes a developer error made on the 10-20-04 update that would not allow a manual  entry in the time field. Thanks AB7RW for using the support forum.

10-28-04 - Fixed log, Classicl version only - would not allow automatic time entry by press of enter key when entering any subsequent QSO's at same sitting.  Thanks NX4W. Lloyd.   Fixed  10-28-04  

NOTE:   Just for clarification - Start time is retained for all subsequent QSO's in mobile log but is cleared on fixed log.  Reason- When mobile the starting time and ending time are used to time stamp a run whereas fixed all have a different time stamp.

CONVERSION TO CLASSIC from KWIKLOG PLUS 2000

KWIKLOG CLASSIC  CONVERSION FILES

SHOULD I convert to CLASSIC?  I am asked that several times a day.  If KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 does everything you want the program to do and you are not planning on tracking QRP, Master Platinum or the ALL Digital awards - then my response would be NO.   But bear in mind that there will be no further updates to the KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 program.    After March 1, 2005   you will not be able to convert to CLASSIC as the KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 files will no longer be available on this Web site to make the  conversion.  You may wish to download the file now, save it,  and make a decision later about converting. 

If you want to track the new awards NOW then YES you should convert to Classic and you will be in a position to track the already approved new awards and still have room for three other awards that may be approved in the future (or to track a specific book of your own design).

 When should  you convert?  That's up to you. I see no rush in doing so but it must be done before March 1, 2005 unless you have a \copy of the conversion file handy.  

Thanks to all of our users who have assisted in the debugging  of the Classic program.  Special thanks are extended to W6TPC, Harry for the tremendous assistance that he gave me in this operation. Harry was very professional in his reports and his many reports have reduced by many weeks, the debugging time  that would have been required  to complete the effort.  

   CONVERT TO CLASSIC INSTRUCTIONS      |       CONVERSION FILE   

KWIKLOG CLASSIC USERS ONLY


CONVERTING KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 TO KWIKLOG CLASSIC

Having trouble making the conversion?  I have re-written the instructions that may help you do the job easier -  If so download CONV2000.zip again and use the following instructions as on the readme file ( shown below)

The file CONV2000.ZIP  Should ONLY be downloaded by those individuals who are registered owners of KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 and who wish to upgrade their program to the new KWIKLOG CLASSIC format.   This file creates a new folder named CLASSIC  that will eventually replace the existing  KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 program and requires  KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 files to run.  It is NOT a complete program.  It will not disturb your data files in KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 IF you follow the instructions carefully.  Take one step at a time as below.   

THE STEPS IN CONVERTING KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 TO KWIKLOG CLASSIC ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1 - BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING - MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A GOOD BACKUP OF YOUR
    KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 PROGRAM.  MAKE SURE THE FILES IN YOUR BACK UP FILE WILL
    COPY.   TRY COPYING  THE FILE CONFIG.DAT TO A FLOPPY DISK. (JUST FOR
    SAFETY REASONS - I have found that MANY THINK THEY HAVE A BACKUP BUT DON'T)
2 - MAKE A FOLDER ON YOUR C DRIVE AND NAME IT CLASSIC  - TEST IT TO SEE IF IT IS
    SPELLED CORRECTLY
    DOS COMMAND IF USED IS:    C:> MD  CLASSIC
3 - COPY ALL THE FILES IN  C:\KWIN2000 TO THIS NEW FOLDER C:\CLASSIC
    TO COPY THE FILES FROM A CD IF YOU ORDERED ONE - TYPE INSTALL
    YOU NOW HAVE TWO COPIES OF KWIN2000 ON YOUR COMPUTER - ONE NAMED CLASSIC
    AND THE OTHER NAMED KWIN2000.
    DOS COMMAND IF USED IS:    C:>  COPY C:\KWIN2000\*.* C:\CLASSIC
4 - AFTER THE FILES FROM THE WEB SITE OR FROM CD HAVE BEEN DOWNLOADED - COPY
    ALL THE FILES DOWNLOADED FROM THE WEB OR ON THE CD IF YOU ORDERED A CD,
    TO C:\CLASSIC 
5 - FROM THIS NEW FOLDER C:\CLASSIC RUN THE FILE CONVERT.BAT
    THIS CONVERT.BAT FILE WILL CHANGE THE FORMAT OF YOUR OLD DATA FILES
    TO THE NEW CLASSIC PROGRAM - YOU WILL SEE THE CONVERSION RUNNING - DO NOT
    INTERRUPT THIS CONVERSION PROCESS.  HAVE NO FEAR IT IS NOT CHANGING
    ANYTHING IN YOUR KWIN2000 FOLDER ONLY IS WORKING WITH THE CLASSIC FOLDER
6 - EDIT THE ICONS ON YOUR DESKTOP TO USE EITHER OF THE TWO RUN FILES BELOW:
    THE RUN FILES OF THE NEW PROGRAM WILL BE CLASSICR.EXE  OR CLASSICL.EXE)
    CLASSICR.EXE REPLACES KWIN2000.EXE AND IS FOR THE 800 X 600 VERSION
    CLASSICL.EXE REPLACES KWIN20L.EXE AND IS FOR THE 1200 X 684 VERSION
    (THE PATH ON THE COMMAND LINE FOR THE ICON SHOULD READ:
    C:\CLASSIC\CLASSICR.EXE   OR C:\CLASSIC\CLASSICL.EXE
7 - TO SAVE SPACE AND TO REDUCE LOAD TIME YOU CAN DELETE THE OLD RUN FILES
    OF KWIN2000.EXE OR KWIN20L.EXE WHICH WILL STILL BE IN THE NEW CLASSIC
    FOLDER. DO NOT DELETE THEM FROM KWIN2000 --- AFTER YOU ARE SATISFIED THAT
    ALL IS OK -- YOU CAN THEN DELETE THE OLD KWIN2000 FOLDER AND ALL ITS
    CONTENTS.  I SUGGEST THAT YOU WAIT A FEW WEEKS OR A MONTH TO MAKE SURE.
8 - IF YOU WILL BE USING THE MAP PROGRAM - YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THE NEW FORMATTED
    PROGRAM FROM THE WEB ALSO.   YOU MUST COPY THESE FILES TO A FOLDER NAMED
    C:\CLCOMAP IF YOU HAVE MAP ON YOUR COMPUTER AND WERE USING IT IN KWIN2000.
    IF YOU WERE NOT USING MAP YOU MUST RUN SETUP ON THE MAP PROGRAM CD THAT
    CAME WITH YOUR KWIN2000 PROGRAM.   IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE CD OR WERE NOT
    RUNNING THE MAP IN THE PAST WITH KWIN2000 THEN YOU MUST ORDER THAT CD -
    IT IS NOT AVAILABLE BY DOWNLOAD FROM THE WEB.   THE MAP DOWNLOADS ON THE
    WEB ARE UPDATES ONLY - THEY DO NOT INCLUDE THE REQUIRED WINDOWS FILES
    (DLL, OCR, ETC.)  COST OF THE MAP CD (IT WILL BE THE CLASSIC VERSION) IS
    $15.00 SHIPPED
9 - YOU MUST NOW RUN THE SETUP CONFIGURATION (UNDER FILE ON HOME PAGE) AND
    MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE EVERY FIELD CORRECTLY FILLED.  DO CHECK THE
    FOLLOWING:
         a -   PATH to KWIKLOG LOG FILES - change to C:\CLASSIC\
         b -   Path to COUNTY Map - change to C:\CLCOMAP\
         c -   Check on the rollover date field (?) and make sure that
               you have the correct roll over date for EVERY award.
               Enter 00-00-00 if you have not received an award and if
               the award does not have an official start date.  If the
               award has a start date enter that date as mm-dd-yy.
               Start dates are found on the utility window under general
               information
         d -   Check that you have a Y or a N in all tracking fields.
               The new award fields are under the Track new awards (?)
               field.
                

newcool.gif (26402 bytes)     DOWNLOADCONV2000.ZIP    - dated   10-25-04  Final.   This file contains ALL the file used to convert the KWIKLOG PLUS 2000 program to the new KWIKLOG CLASSIC program.   DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND RUN THE ATTACHED FILES unless you wish to upgrade your existing program.  There are no updates to the CLASSIC program  as of this date.  The run file for the Classic program is CLASSICR.EXE or CLASSICLEXE.   An earlier CONV2000.zip file did not include batch files for Viewing logs, sorting files, etc. that required an EDIT of the affected BATCH files (those ending with an extension of .BAT and users were getting runtime errors.  I have edited all the batch files for you and have added them to this download. A default frequency of 10.1140 has also been setup for you CW guys - so go get them.  You can also use one of the new 3 special books as a 30 meter book if desired    Be sure that you copy ALL the files included in this zipped file to your KWIN2000 directory. After all is OK reboot computer and delete the KWIN2000.exe or KWIN20l.exe files in the Classic directory.
