   1. Your HQ multipliers will now be counted correctly (for the first
   time), even the ones using the same HQ abbreviation, e.g. both ER7HQ and
   XX9A send "ARM", but they are different HQ multipliers.  4.20 does not
   handle that correctly.
   2. Log sync between computers will be faster (every computer on the LAN
   needs to be running WT 4.21)
   3. If you are using Windows 10 with certain USB-to-Serial adapters for
   rig control, 4.21 will work better
   4. If you accidentally press Ctrl-T, then get distracted, your radio
   won't stay keyed forever any more

More important than updating Win-Test is to update all the Super Check
Partial and Check Country files, and make sure you are using cty_wt_mod.dat
on every computer.

My batch file automates the process of fetching the latest super check
partial and country files.  Go tto http://bit.ly/wtscripts, download
UpdateCtySCP.zip, and follow the directions in the Readme file.  You also
need a free 3rd party program called WGET, which is documented in the
Readme file.

Separately, the current IARU HQ prefill list (itu.dtb) is in
http://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/itu.zip and will be updated as I receive more
info. from OZ0J.  Unzip the file and copy itu.dtb to your /databases folder
and HQ abbreviations will be entered automatically (make sure Tools -> Data
Entry -> Exchange Guessing is enabled).
