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.
