Thanks to Joe, OZ0J, I've added all of his IOTA pre-fill data to an
iota.dtb file that can be used for *both* pre-fill and super-check partial
in Win-Test, adding all the callsigns from the latest MASTER.SCP file and Joe's
list <https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdrlzhbv1wpcm60/iota2018.txt?dl=0>.

Please send additions / corrections to Joe, OZ0J, contest at oz0j.dk .

Anyone can download the Win-Test .dtb version here:

https://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/iota.zip

Open iota.zip and copy *iota2018.xdt* to the Win-Test */extras* directory,
and *iota.dtb* to the Win-Test */databases* directory (you can locate these
directories by using *File | Explore* in the Win-Test menu).

Start Win-Test and open an IOTA contest file.  Right click on the Check
Partial window and select "Used files...".  You should see *iota.dtb*
listed and a current file date.

(Optional) Press Alt-X to view the Extra Data Window, right click and add
*iota2018.xdt*.

Test:  Enter a callsign like TM5F and you will see the IOTA pre-fill set to
EU095.

See also the instructions in the Readme_IOTA.txt file to ensure you have
IOTA.DAT and CTY_IOTA.DAT (which may need an update since they haven't
changed since 2015).

I expect the iota.zip file linked above to have several more updates before
the contest starts in one week, so keep checking.  I may not make an
announcement here every time the file is updated.

73,
Bob, N6TV
