I posted this last week but no response as yet. I would like to know if my
CTY and MASTER files are up to date before the start of the CQWWDX this
weekend.

TIA & 73

Subject: [WriteLog] Web Update Data Files

I just upgraded from 11.27 to 11.30. I am setting up for next weekends
CQWWDX SSB.
 
I have never understood how the WEB UPDATE DATA FILES function works.
 
After setting up WL for the CQWWDX SSB I went to FILE: WEB UPDATE DATE
FILES. The update window opens. I click on DOWNLOAD and the file window is
populated. I leave all the files highlighted. I click OK and WL opens and
closes. This makes me feel that all my CTY and MASTER files are now current
and up to date.
 
But when I go to C:\ProgramData\WriteLog there are no CTY files there. There
is another zip file folder WlWebUpdate but it is dated 12/12/2014. I assume?
I am supposed to click on this folder to open it then click on EXTRACT to
open these files. When I do that all the CTY and MASTER files are dated in
2014. Does WL go to the data in C:\ProgramData\WriteLog\ WlWebUpdate to find
the CTY and MASTER files? If I just did the download why are the files dated
in 2014?
 
I remember years ago you used to have to use Jim, AD1C CTY files and
download them to WL but I had thought the WEB UPDATE DATA FILES function did
this all automatically. The help files do not explain how all this works.
 
Can anyone enlighten me please.
 
TIA & 73
Alan, K7ACZ
