[WT-support] CQ160

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Chances are high that the file is actually named arrl-all.dtb.dtb, which
Win-Test will ignore.

Follow the instructions linked below to make Windows to display COMPLETE
file names instead of truncated names, and the problem will be obvious:

http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Check_Partial_and_Np1_Files#Windows_Vista_and_Windows_7

Also, please make sure that your Win-Test shortcut Properties have the "Run
as an Administrator" box checked, otherwise Win-Test will not look in the
proper folder for the .dtb file.

73,
Bob, N6TV
