Unfortunately Duane I already made the mistake of installing DX4Win
over itself when I changed the location of the \xxx\ham\ directory (twice!) which
contains DX4Win.  I just plain forgot about not installing with making provision
for a merge.

I _think_ there is a version of dx4win.cty in the shack that I copied over 6 months ago
from my master house version of DX4Win that contains all the exceptions.
It came from copying over both n2la.dxl and dx4win.cty from the master house version
to update the shack for stuff like qsl's received, etc.

When I'm sure of my ground I'll copy it back to the shack.

However I'm not at all sure it's useful to worry about dx4win.cty.
It seems to me that the log _already_ contains the exception data
and that will not change.  The only thing that might matter are new
countries added of which there is only Ducie.

It would be really nice if there was some way to compare two .cty files so the differences
could be noted and dealt with.
