[Dx4win] No luck at all in downloading new countries' file

[J. C. Mc Laughlin]

Dear David:  Mr. Reiser most kindly provided me with links to the two files in question.  When the files were  inserted in the proper places, and after I used a reading program to verify that the new files actually contained the post 10/10/10 information, DX4WIN still used old information.  I hypothecated that another .exe program was being run.  A global search found a second program probably existing because of a very recent replacement of HD and OS.  The shortcut to DX4WIN was changed so as to point to the intended program and things now seem to work.

Thank you for your assistance.  It is a great program.

73,  Mac  N8TT

JC,

If you look at Jim's main support page (http://dx4win.ad1c.us/) you'll
see a link to all the individual files. If you click on the link to
DX4WIN.CTY, it'll take you to
http://www.country-files.com/dx4win/index.htm where there are (very)
detailed instructions for installation.
