Note a bit of what Jim said indirectly.  The "errors" reported are not
necessarily telling you they are now wrong, but only that they differ from
the information being imported.  I also had many, many errors, but all that
I remember were correct in DX4WIN.  Mainly the old program used a different
convention for prefixes (say UA9 instead of UA/9, can't remember a real
example right now).  So, the bottom line, the entries may be correct in
DX4WIN and the "errors" are just a warning that differences exist but not
that their for sure is an error now.

The program should have done most of these correctly.  The Russian callsign
system is TRICKY, be VERY careful before you over-ride any entities or
zones for these callsigns.  Most of them should be correct by default in
the 5.03 country file (perhaps your old program was wrong!).  There is a
page of callsign exceptions on the DX4WIN web site that may not be in the
database yet.

Go to the QSO in question, and tab over to the Prefix field.  Using the F1
key, select the correct entity, and save the QSO record (ENTER or
F10).  All subsequent QSOs with that callsign will now come up as that
entity.
