Describing the folder and file structure.
This section may help you with complex issues, or manual file manipulation and maintenance, and a general understanding of how Winlog32 works.
Some basic folder/file understanding is assumed.

Winlog32 root folder.

"wl32.exe" - the main Winlog32 executable (the program that you 'run')
"Winlog.INI" - the user configuration settings, this file is read when starting winlog32 and sets all user (optional) settings, when exiting Winlog32, the configuration settings are saved to this br. This file can be viewed in a text editor e.g. Notepad, it is possible to be edited by advanced users if necessary.
"changes.txt" - latest changes documented, this file can be viewed in any text editor e.g. Notepad, the same file is viewed from menu/File/Latest Updates window.
"googlemaps.txt" - this file can be viewed in any text editor e.g. Notepad, and describes the work involved in setting up the Google maps interface
"earth.htm" - a template file that is deployed for the Google maps interface (see).
"register.txt" - this file can be viewed in any text editor e.g. Notepad, and describes the optional registration process.

The folder expanded to the ..\LOGS sub-folder

'G0CUZ.LOG' is THE log database and where all Log data (QSOs) is stored.
Depending on your windows file settings - this may be described as a 'text file' IT IS NOT!
The Log files are MS Access jet 3.51 format - the same format is used throughout the Winlog32 databases (normal file extension .MDB)
The Log and other databases must NOT be opened with other software e.g. text editor as this is likely to destroy your Log.
The databases may be opened with MS Access 97 if you really know what you are doing, but if opened with later versions or MS Access and converted to later formats - the Log/databases will NOT work with Winlog32 again! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Expanded to the ('G0CUZ' LOG) sub-folder

The sub-folder name 'G0CUZ' will change to YOUR log name.
This folder contains all the working 'ancillary' databases associated with Log 'G0CUZ.LOG'
The Ancillary databases store DXCC, IOTA, WAZ, WAE (etc.) data.
These files all have the '.mdb' file extension; please see previous remarks about the MS Access file structure.

When multiple Log databases are being used, multiple sets of ancillary databases will be present each contained within its own folder designated by the name of the Log.

Other sub-folders and files described.

'Data'
