[Dxspider-support] IMPORTANT: WPXLOC.RAW updated 3 March 2009

[Wayne]

Hi All,
I seem to be stuck with GIT PULL...

I did the CTY and WPXLOC updates manually and the SH/H now agrees with 
Jim's sh/h HK0.

However now when trying to do GIT PULL I get:
error: Entry 'data/cty.dat'  not uptodate  cannot merge..

my build now is still .36

How would I go about fixing this?

Thanks,

Wayne  WA1PMA
