Luc let me access his system remotely.  His fulllist.xml file was
corrupt.  This is the file that has the island names for each IOTA
group.  The file does not exist anymore, so if you try to update it,
you will get a corrupt file.

The latest version of the Updater (9.5) does not let you select this
file for update (the menu choice is grayed out), but if you use an
older version, you could do this.

This file has not been updated for some time. When the new IOTA World
website was created, they provide the island names in a different
format (JSON, not XML).  I do not have time to try to convert the JSON
file back to XML format for DX4WIN 8.0x users.  If you are an active
IOTA chaser, you are much better off with DX4WIN 9.0x.
