[WriteLog] FW: Web Update Data Files

[Gary AL9A]

Alan,

Two ways to check for the latest version of wl_cty.dat.  One, start WriteLog 
and in the CALL field enter VERSION and hit Space.  The result should be 5W, 
Samoa.  Second, without starting WriteLog, go to C:\ProgramData\WriteLog and 
find the wl_cty.dat file.  Open it with a text editor such as Notepad and 
find VERSION.  Result should also be 5W, Samoa.  If you have a different 
VERSION go to Start/All Programs/WriteLog V11 run the "Convert CTY to 
WriteLog" utility to get the latest version.

For the MASTER.DTA files go to

I posted this last week but no response as yet. I would like to know if my
CTY and MASTER files are up to date before the start of the CQWWDX this
weekend.

TIA & 73

I just upgraded from 11.27 to 11.30. I am setting up for next weekends
CQWWDX SSB.

I have never understood how the WEB UPDATE DATA FILES function works.

After setting up WL for the CQWWDX SSB I went to FILE: WEB UPDATE DATE
FILES. The update window opens. I click on DOWNLOAD and the file window is
populated. I leave all the files highlighted. I click OK and WL opens and
closes. This makes me feel that all my CTY and MASTER files are now current
and up to date.

But when I go to C:\ProgramData\WriteLog there are no CTY files there. There
is another zip file folder WlWebUpdate but it is dated 12/12/2014. I assume?
I am supposed to click on this folder to open it then click on EXTRACT to
open these files. When I do that all the CTY and MASTER files are dated in
2014. Does WL go to the data in C:\ProgramData\WriteLog\ WlWebUpdate to find
the CTY and MASTER files? If I just did the download why are the files dated
in 2014?

I remember years ago you used to have to use Jim, AD1C CTY files and
download them to WL but I had thought the WEB UPDATE DATA FILES function did
this all automatically. The help files do not explain how all this works.

Can anyone enlighten me please.

TIA & 73
