It's a standard option in SDCHECK.  Copy CTY.DAT to your C:\SD folder 
(from https://www.country-files.com/contest/ct/) to replace any older 
file of the same name.  Then run SDCHECK (any log will do) and select 
Option 9 - Update DXCC.CTY and CQWW.CTY.

It's not strictly necessary for .CTY files to be up-to-date, as contest 
sponsors ignore Claimed Scores in Cabrillo logs, regardless of how they 
were created, and calculate the scores independently.
