Computers are so damn literal :-)
CTY.DAT is not the right file. That is the CT file for country info.
COUNTRY.DAT is the one you need. Run it through NAU to make DXCC.CTY
and CQWW.CTY.
I don't wanna hear any griping about the file name similarity. There
are reasons why the CT and NA files are different. The names are
different so as to avoid confusion. Nonetheless, people get confused...
