[WriteLog] current country file

"Country Files

For people new to contesting, Country files are used by WriteLog (and other
contesting programs) to identify the country associated with a call's
prefix. The file also provides information directly or to calculate the
latitude and longitude information, sunrise/sunset times, and beam headings
of the countries you are working provided by WriteLog during the contest.
Country files are updated often, especially in October, for the contesting
community. You can download the latest Country file from:
http://www.k1ea.com/cty/

There are two steps to getting the downloaded file functional for use in
WriteLog:

Unzip the CTY file to the WriteLog Programs subdirectory

Run WriteLog's 'Convert CTY to WriteLog' program. This program is separate
from the standard WriteLog contest program and can be found by clicking on
the Start button, going to where WriteLog shows up as your program, and then
clicking on the 'Convert CTY to WriteLog' selection.

Once you run the program, you will see the conversion program going through
several iterations of the downloaded, unzipped file. After several minutes
of this, the program will tell you when it's done. When it's finished, just
close the program down and you're done."

The latest file version there is October, 2001.
