[Dx4win] Editing the country file gives you no special privileges

[wo2n]

This I believe is an Achilles heal for DX4win, spotting ability!
This as a Dxer is a sad thing to miss one.
The cure is *NOT * to have multi prefix countries defaulted to *ONE* prefix 
only with an incoming cluster spots :((
(I know you can manually insert an upcoming callsigns.)
As I stated before, have the program ask the operator what it could possibly 
be?
I often double check incoming spots when there could be a doubt.
All prefixes in all multi prefix countries should be *IN* there, and  the 
same meaning, in the countries FIELD of prefixes.
(i.e.) 3D2, CE0, FR, FT5, HK0,  OH0, PP0, VK0, VK9, VP2, VP8.
As of now I believe the only defense we have is to be forewarned and 
manually type in and educate the software.
Just my suggestion.
