[WriteLog] CTY-1802 Contest Country Files - 18 March 2008 and VISTA

Wed Mar 19 19:40:50 EDT 2008

When I downloaded the wl_cty.dat file I put it into
C:\Users\K0BX\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\WriteLog\Programs
folder. When I ran the CTY to WL program, the program prompt me for the location of the WL_cty.dat file
which I gave it the location in the VirtualStore as above.
It ran, and all the updates where there when I tried it in WL.
