[Dx4win] DX4WIN data (and updater) updates coming

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Hi Folks,

I want to release my new DX4WIN Data Updater soon, but you probably
would like something to update first!

The Updater has had pretty extensive code changes to improve error
detection and handling. Thanks to the folks who help test the fixes.
I also fixed a few bugs.  There is no new functionality.

These are the databases for which I plan to release updates:

- awards
- master callsigns
- membership list

The country file update is still a few days out.  I have a bunch of
updates queued up but no time to make them in my master database.

My plan is to upload all the changes tonight (local time, Thursday
morning UTC), then send a few E-mails to the reflector.  When the
E-mail about the DX4WIN Data Updater itself shows up in your mailbox,
you can then go ahead and perform the actual update.

IMPORTANT:  Even though the Updater can update itself, I would prefer
that before doing any updates, you first uninstall the current
Updater, then install the new one (link will be included in the
E-mail).  This will ensure that you are using the very latest Updater
when performing the data updates. There will be a reminder of this in
the announcement E-mail.

Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C

p.s. the DX4WIN Data Updater web page needs a lot of changes.  It was
never really revised after I released the GUI version so many years
ago.  Much of it no longer applies.  I won't have time to make the
changes until the weekend (at the earliest).  I'll see if there are
some easy changes I can make tonight before the E-mail announcement.
