Duane, I maintain the country file.  Follow the Country File link on this page:

         http://www.ad1c.com/dx4win/

Reading the paragraph beginning with IMPORTANT:

"IMPORTANT: The ZIP file contains two prefix files: DX4WIN.CTY which has 
new prefixes that match the ARRL DXCC Award Credits Listing, and DX4WIN.OLD 
that has the original DX4WIN prefixes. You should use DX4WIN.OLD only if 
you want to check your log for errors (see Analyzing country file 
differences below). If you do chose to use the country file with the new 
prefixes, and you are filtering packet spots by country, make sure the 
country prefix(es) in the packet preferences match(es) the prefix(es) in 
the country file."

This has also been mentioned on the reflector several times in the last 
couple of months.  I will add some text to the Upgrade Tips section of that 
web page.
