Dick,
It doesn't matter how many wl_cty.dat files you have lying around, although
good housekeeping would suggest keeping just the latest one. What really
matters is the wl_cty.bin file. This is the binary file created by the
Convert CTY to WriteLog utility that is actually used by the WL program.
73,
Gary AL9A
