[Dx4win] Version 6.01 and Windows XP

[Alan C. Zack]

I am waiting for my upgrade but reading about various situations which
are occurring so I can be ready for them.  (I don't want to use the
word problems)  Regarding the country/prefix problem Don experienced,
I thought I had read that the country file supplied with the upgrade
was up to date and so VP6DI, K5K, K1B, AH3D, etc, etc, would be logged
correctly.  If not, what do I need to do to be sure that they are? 
Otherwise I can foresee my DXCC count being off.  Does anyone have a
good, up to date, country list to use? 
TIA & 73
