[Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY Release 4 ready for download

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Hello,

I've already received some good feedback from people.  I imported a few new 
.CTY files into this database, and apparently some new errors cropped up. 
Don't worry, just keep reporting what you find and I'll put out a cleanup 
pass as soon as I can (goal is within next two weeks).

Remember, if you want to check for errors, copy the DX4WIN.OLD file from 
the ZIP archive into your SAVE directory as DX4WIN.CTY.  Otherwise, there 
will be a lot of new "errors" because some prefixes are now different.

Also remember that the new prefixes match the ARRL DXCC Award Credits 
Listing which is the printout you receive back from the ARRL after a DXCC 
submission. These prefixes don't necessarily match the ARRL DXCC List at 
http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/, for example that list shows United States 
as 'K' but the award credits listing has it under 'W'. The point was to 
make it easier to cross-check the award credits listing against the DX4WIN 
listing.  I will send mail to the ARRL DXCC desk to see if they can make 
their own lists consistent!

I really need to take a break from this but it keeps coming back to haunt me!
