First, Kurt, there is no automated way to update DXCC award credit
status in DX4WIN, other than by hand.  The file you downloaded can't
be used by DX4WIN.  Please read this article:

http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/dxcc.html

and see this utility:

http://dx4win.ad1c.us/lotw/

Second, any DXCC credits you have that pre-date LoTW (i.e. paper
confirmations from the the 1990s and earlier) won't have the correct
QSO information in them.  The paper ARRL DXCC records did not contain
any QSO information, only callsigns.

I was hoping that the LoTW program above could be adapted for VUCC,
but unfortunately, there is no way to download a file of VUCC award
credits that includes both paper QSL credits as well as LoTW credits.
