Ray,
I still think you're looking in all the wrong places! There should be a
path named C:\ProgramData\WriteLog. Forget about your long path name
leading to a WL folder. The wl_cty.dat update doesn't look there. Just go
to Start/All Programs/Writelog V10 or V11 and select Convert CTY to
Writelog. When the little window titled Read CTY V10 opens uncheck the
Reduce to lowest runtime memory use box. Then click on Download wl_cty.dat.
Don't worry about where it goes, but it does go into the
C:\ProgramData\WriteLog folder. Once downloaded click on Convert wl_cty.dat
and in an instant it's done. Close the window and start any WL contest
module that shows Country as a field. In the Call field type VERSION and
Space to the next field. The Country field will show the country associated
with this update. If you get the right country, you're done!
73,
Gary AL9A
