Saki,

First and foremost, I apologize if you took my reply as a personal 
attack. It was not specifically aimed at you or anyone else, but rather 
a general statement to the entire listserver. I've re-read my posting 
and found nothing rude about my comments. Over the past few CTY.DAT 
updates, individuals have stated that Jim's file was inaccurate, etc. My 
point was merely to affirm that his file is (and has been) correct. I 
don't post very often, but do read each and every posting on this 
listserver. On rare occassions, I've done my best to help whenever 
possible. However, there are many folks on here who are much smarter 
than me regarding technical issues.

Glad to hear you found the solution to your specific problem.

73, Steve - AA4U
