[WT-support] YO DX contest

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Something changed in Win-Test 4.31.

In Win-Test 4.30, the check partials Window used YO_DX_DX.DTB or
YO_DX_YO.DTB for check partial results if the files were found, or .SCP
files with the same name, otherwise DEFAULT.SCP, or MASTER.SCP..  The .DTB
files were used for prefills.

But with Win-Test 4.31 and later, the check partial windows now use *both*
MASTER.SCP and YODX.SCP combined (if present).  YODX.DTB is only used for
prefills.  So, put both YODX.SCP and YODX.DTB into the /databases directory
and it should work.  YODX.SCP only needs to list the callsigns in YODX.DTB,
instead of copying MASTER.SCP and adding callsigns to it.

This will also affect other contests like the ARRL DX Contests (old:
ARRL_DX_USVE.DTB, ARRL_DX_DX.DTB; new:  ARRL_DX.DTB).

This can be confirmed by entering a call that is only in YODX.SCP and
YODX.DTB, like YR5Z.  It should show up in the check partial windows and
prefill "SJ" for the exchange.

As Laurent mentioned, the new files names are documented here:

http://download.win-test.com/files/checkPartial/%23_READ_ME_%23.TXT

Right click on the Check Partial window, and select "Used File List".
Win-Test (4.31 and later) should list both MASTER.SCP and YODX.SCP.

Also, DEFAULT.SCP is not working the same as before.  I guess it will not
be used any more??

If so, the Wiki is now out of date and in need of a major update to this
section:

https://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Check_Partial_and_Np1_Files

First I need to understand if DEFAULT.SCP is no longer used as of Win-Test
4.31.

73,
Bob, N6TV
