Been trying to get the latest cty file installed without any luck.
Using WL V10.79D.  Each time try Dodecanese shows up when version is
entered.

All the previous wl_ct.dat have been removed from C drive (other than
in the trash file) yet still get Dodecanese when the convert CTY to
Writelog is run as defined by Wayne, W5XD, in his recent e-mail.

I'm probably doing something wrong based on my past experience trying
to get the latest cty installed in WL.  Help?
