Hi xcnick,
Not sure what you mean by "eliminate the name". That certainly isn't usual behavior -- names are generally translated between formats just fine, as many pilots will attest.
Please contact me using the "Questions and Comments: link on
http://www.soaringdata.info, and send me the .dat file you are working with and some detail regarding what is wrong. I bet I can help get it resolved.
