Hi Mike
I don't either. But I do have a REACTY.EXE. I downloaded wl_cty.dat
into the WL programs folder. Then, from Win Explorer, I double-clicked
the REACTY.EXE file and it created the necessary DAT files.

I don't seem to have a readcty.exe anywhere. Does anyone know
where I might find it?
Thanks & 73.

OK, I figured it out......
After downloading WL_CTY.DAT, you have to run READCTY.EXE to convert the
WL_CTY.DAT file to what Writelog wants to see.
All is well, now.
