Interesting Mike. Well I totally started a new version of Writelog
yesterday. Completely got rid of all old copies and old files.
I did a complete install of the latest Writelog. I downloaded the CTY
file. It also shows British Virgin Islands with VERSION. It does
correctly ID all current PJ2's so its certainly the current file.
Check that and if that is good don't worry about it. Check PJ5 and PJ7
and see what it tells you. Bet that they are correct.
Actually the file wl_cty.dat shows VP2V,=VERSION; so that is why it
shows up. That is the only VERSION that is in the entire wl_cty.dat
file which you can open with notepad.
Not sure where all this other stuff comes from. I just double checked
and downloaded it 2 minutes ago and VERSION should now = VP2 or
British VI.
This is also on XP.
