[Dxspider-support] 01.dat file missing

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

I'm pretty sure that 01.dat is for January and 02.dat is February and 
can be ignored. However, there might be a permissions issue. Try

Stop dxspider
cd /
sudo chown -R sysop:spider spider
start dxspider

This assumes that you installed and run from user sysop and designated a 
group named spider.

THAT was the equation. EXISTENCE!... SURVIVAL!... must cancel out... 
programming!
