Re: [Dx4win] IOTA fulllist.xml is broken

2012-04-17 Thread Jim Reisert AD1C
The site is fixed, you can verify this by going to this URL:

http://www.rsgbiota.org/xml/fulllist.xml

If you made any changes to the DX4WIN Data Updater configuration file
(or shortcut) to disable IOTA updates, you can enable them again.  If
you are not sure whether you have the latest fulllist.xml file, remove
the one from the UPDATE directory, then run the Updater again.

 Please do not try to update this file at this time. Please comment out
 or remove the iota line from your DX4WUPD.RC file.  If you have a
 good copy of fulllist.xml in your BACKUP directory, copy it to your
 SAVE directory, and DX4WIN should start normally.  If you do not, just
 remove the fulllist.xml file from your SAVE directory.

[Dx4win] whats going on with .cty file trying to unzip?

2012-04-17 Thread George
When I download the .CTY file and try to un-zip it I get a window telling me
I have to spend $29.95 to get the un-zip program?
How do I get the latest country file without spending that money to un-zip
it.
Better still can someone send me the .cty file?
Thanks.

George,
The download from Jim's site is a zip file. Assuming you're running Windows
XP or later, you don't need to install anything to open it.

You apparently have some software installed for handing zip files that's
either out-of-date or was a trial license, so it's now asking for money.
Just uninstall that and Windows will handle the file for you.

The DX4WIN Data Updater takes care of the unzipping automatically.

The direct download of the DX4WIN.CTY file is:

http://www.country-files.com/dx4win/download/dx4win.cty

The file puts a lot less stress on the download site when it's
downloaded as a compressed .ZIP file.
