Thanks Jim, I could download it just before I left home for WW Phone.

It did contain both Ws and DXs.

But I still think at least tools to convert MASTER.DTA to/from ASCII
should be supplied as a part of CT. On CT-BBS I could find MASTER.DTA
with only Ws. If I want to make MASTER.DTA with only JAs for Japanese
domestic contests, who could make it? I think preparing data for my
own MASTER.DTA is a part of my contesting, but reverse-engineering and
writing converters are not. If tools to make MASTER.DTA are supplied,
using CT could be much more fun. I would like to know other CT lovers'
opinions.

Yes, I guessed that the new MASTER.DTA must have been in CT9 directory
and tried to upgrade my CT8 to CT9 on-line as a last resort to get a
new MASTER.DTA. Unfortunately or fortunately I couldn't figure out how
to do it when I was automatically logged in as registered CT8 user.

Does anyone tell me how to upgrade CT8 to CT9 on-line? I'm very new to
those BBS and learning on-line over Pacific hurts my radio budget
seriously. (Downloading over Pacific already did:-) I envy you guys
having access to CT-BBS with domestic call.
