[WriteLog] TO7ZG???

Mon Oct 18 10:44:49 PDT 2010

This raises an interesting problem. I also updated my CTY a week or so ago and had a problem in not
finding the updates. I was advised here that it had been relocated to programData/writelog instead
of in WriteLog/Programs. 
So far so good. I didn't work TO7ZG in the contest so no problem. But because of Dick's email I
tried entering it in my log and found that it did not display a country.
So I copied the .DAT files from programData/writelog to WriteLog/Programs where they had always been
in the past and bingo the country now displays upon log entry. I'm using 10.79D which as far as I
know is current. So something is out of sync.
