[NA-User] CQP---Alpine County Error

Charlie,

Good catch OM, but your analysis is incorrect.  The .MLT file has an error.

If you look at the CALCTY.MLT file (which contains the multipliers for 
non-CA entries) you find that the Alpine County line looks like this:

Alpine:                 ALPI  CTY:  6;

The county abbreviation "ALPI" is missing a colon after it, which NA 
needs to parse out the abbreviation from the line of data.  You'll see 
evidence of this in NA if you press Alt-L to get the abbreviation list - 
NA thinks the abbreviation is "ALPI  CTY".

Simply add a colon after "ALPI" (with your editor in overstrike mode to 
keep everything lined up) and all will be fine when you restart NA.

I apologize for this error.  The edited CQP files were provided by one 
of the W6s and I failed to fully check it out before distributing it.

In-state CQP entries have a different multiplier file so they will not 
have this problem.

73,

Dave/K8CC
