Thanks for noticing the typos, Bob and Bob.  I uploaded a fixed file to the web:

http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty_wt_mod.dat

I did not update cty-1814.zip.

Can someone please check out this new file and let me know if the VY0
problem is fixed, and if there are any others?

Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C
