one opened with your log, <BR>use the File / Update database menu.<BR><BR>If
not, you can easily use a very simple (g)awk script to make a DTB <BR>file. Here
is a snippet (txt2dtb.awk) :<BR><BR>{<BR> if ($0)

<DIV><SPAN class=284212615-18042007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
a text file and I can activate the XDT file and see the names of stations but
how to get the program to determine exchanges? Right now it loads HF.DTB for EU
Sprint. Is there a specific DTB for Sprint that I could update with UPDATE
DATABASE function? Or do I have to create it myself? What should be it's name?
And how to create it? Can I take some other DTB file, rename it and then add
data from log files through WinTest?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=284212615-18042007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Maybe
somebody smart could create a DTB file for everybody - i could send a thorough
list (text file) of nearly 2000 calls that have shown up in the EU Sprint
in the years 2002-2006. That would be hugely useful file - can you do
it??</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
