[WT-support] how to create DTB for EU Sprint?

[Tõnno Vähk]

I know, I know this has been explained before but can somebody human explain me how to do it:)
 
I read from wiki:
 
If the DTB file you want to populate is the one opened with your log, 
use the File / Update database menu.

If not, you can easily use a very simple (g)awk script to make a DTB 
file. Here is a snippet (txt2dtb.awk) :

{
   if ($0) {
     if ($0 !~ /^#/) {
       $1 = substr((toupper($1) "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"),1,14)
       $2 = substr((toupper($2) "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"),1,12)
       printf("%14s%12s",$1,$2)
     }
   }
}

Usage : (g)awk -f txt2dtb.awk FileIn.txt > FileOut.dtb

The .txt file must contain one "Callsign data" pair per line. Lines 
starting with # are ignored.

well, this is completely Greek to me:)
 
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?
 
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??
