Well Matt,
I was probing for an answer to some of this by way of my question.
This is what I understand:
The file cty.dat is used by CT and TR.
The file country.dat is used by NA.
They should have the same information, I suppose, as a function of the
time as to when they were made, but I think they are in different
formats as to content.
I am thinking that the country.dat file is later generated for NA from
information contained in the most recently developed cty.dat file.
I guess I will go into each of them with a text editor over the weekend
and see what I can learn.
I do know that the NAU program uses country.dat to develop the proper
country files for the contests.
NAU does not seem to use cty.dat files to perform this function.

This might have been headphone error, as I was able to download and
unzip all OK.
You might try again.
