[ct-user] RAC.ZIP - BAD RAC.DAT

[Ken Wolff]

The RAC.DAT file VE5CPU sent me has non-ASCII characters in the file, hex A0 to be exact. I tried to fix CT to deal with bad characters like that, but I guess the fix only worked on CT/WIN (I was in a a hurry and didn't test CT/DOS).

Five minutes ago, I typed in a new RAC.DAT and uploaded it to http://www.k1ea.com/dat/

I also made a new RAC.ZIP and put uploaded it to http://www.k1ea.com/download/
