They all contain the same information, only formatted differently for each
format. They're all generated from the same master file, which is in its
own format. I run a program that spits out the *.CTY, CTY.DAT and
COUNTRY.CTY files all at once. Then they are packaged up into the
appropriate .ZIP files and uploaded to the Internet. I don't have privs.
to edit the datom web site, so I sent the file to Dave K8CC so he could
upload it.
