Why not use the cty files that CT and other loggers use?

I use my {dxcc_pre.dat} DXCC lookup file that I developed for my first DOS logger in the 80`s – before CT? GenLog, Cabrillo Evaluator and other support applications use this file and I don`t want to re-write software that I developed years ago. It is easy to keep updated and I added the {DXCC_Exceptions.dat} file that allows lookup for stations not operating from their `home` DXCC country. If you work an exception station not in the file – add it yourself. If an exception expires, remove it from the file. Each entry has the same format as the {dxcc_pre.dat} file – except a space is required after the callsign and one callsign per line. Copy and paste an existing country exception to add a new one. Ex: AH8I [ALASKA]01 KL7 Q: How can I delete the temporary/dummy log files that I don`t want? A: As with any applications software, file maintenance is best done in the MS file manager, Explorer. Use Tools, Folder options, View tab, and uncheck `Hide file extensions` so you can view the .LOG f
