If the DTB file you want to populate is the one opened with your log, 
use the File / Update database menu.

If not, you can easily use a very simple (g)awk script to make a DTB 
file. Here is a snippet (txt2dtb.awk) :

{
   if ($0) {
     if ($0 !~ /^#/) {
       $1 = substr((toupper($1) "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"),1,14)
       $2 = substr((toupper($2) "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"),1,12)
       printf("%14s%12s",$1,$2)
     }
   }
}

Usage : (g)awk -f txt2dtb.awk FileIn.txt > FileOut.dtb

The .txt file must contain one "Callsign data" pair per line. Lines 
starting with # are ignored.
