[Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY Release #14 - second notice

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Another round of changes to DX4WIN.CTY is on my web site for review:

  http://www.ad1c.us/dx4win/history.htm#14

Two changes that might affect some people:

ZC4 before 16 August 1960 counts for Cyprus, 5B.  Starting 16 August 1960 it
counts as UK Sovereign Bases, ZC4.  Release #13 and some earlier versions had a
number of ZC4 callsign exceptions mistakenly mapped to Cyprus, 5B.

Also the Comoro Islands/Mayotte situation was a little mixed up.  On July 6
1975, the Comoro Islands declared their independence from France, however
Mayotte did not. Thus Comoro Islands became a deleted country effective July 6,
and two new entities were created: Comoroes (D6) and Mayotte (FH). The primary
database entry for Mayotte did not have any start date, and the FH prefix
before July 6 was mapped to Comoroes, D6, an entity which did not even exist
yet! (It should have been mapped to Comoro Islands, FH/D.  I don't think anyone
would have been affected by the mistakes because the FH prefix mapping for
Mayotte kind of hid them in the background.  However, after fixing the problem,
a number of unnecessary callsign exceptions went away.

Please review the proposed changes and especially check your logbooks against
Release #13 to find any other mistakes or omissions that I missed.
