[Xlog-discussion] Importing ADIF log from Logger32

[JACrux]

xlog compiles just fine under SuSE 9.3. But when I import 22000 qsos from 
Logger32 (Windows 2000), via the ADIF exported file, I get two very obvious 
problems.
 
1. When I run as root  and import the ADIF file, I get messages about a 
problem with converting from UTF8 format. I have no idea how to fix this. My 
SuSE language settings are the default ones, as far as I know. Windows 2000 
runs with default settings, but I'm not sure about Logger32.

2. Running as a normal user, the entire 22000 entry callsign column is 
completely black, until I click on a callsign. Then (and only because I 
changed the colour scheme)  I see the callsign. Its white on blue since I 
changed the colour scheme. (The whole entry line shows up as white on blue)

3. If I run as root in a terminal window and load the same ADIF file from 
Logger32 under Windows,  I do see all the callsigns as white on a black 
background. The whole callsign column is black; all other columns are OK, 
altho I have to adjust some of the column widths - see 4 below.

4. ALL imported GMT entries are six digits long. 2345 becomes 234500. The 
Logger32 setup is for just 2345 and I have checked it.  I tried the 23:45 
format as well as the 2345 format. It makes no difference. The times are 
always extended to six digits.

The programme looks good, but any help would be appreciated.
