With a little luck, there should be some DX4WIN data updates tonight
(between 00 and 06z on the 18th):

- updater program
- country file
- award database
- LoTW/eQSL member list
- master calls

I'll send the announcement E-mails once ALL the updates have been posted.

The updater fixes are:

- added "-auto" switch so the updater will run and exit without user
intervention (output is written to a log file)
- fulllist.xml (RSGB IOTA islands list) updates are much faster (they
fixed something on their web site)

I am aware of the requests for a "master call" list containing only
LoTW users.  I'm currently waiting for Paul to create a small utility
for me to make it easier to generate different master callsign files.
Once that's available, I'll add a new option to the updater to do
this.
