Hi all
As previously mentionned, determining the country (sorry, the entity) 
out of a TO callsign cannot be automated.
The same call may be used once from FM, once from FG, and also from 
other entities....
The prefix has to be entered on each case.
If a callsign is repeated in your log, it will show the last entity for 
which it was validated.
Let's say you work TO5FJ in 2008. You must enter FJ on the first 
contact. If you work that station again, DX4Win will reckognize it as 
FJ, and you can hit "enter" if correct.
If the call is reissued for let's say FG, the next time you work it, you 
will have to enter FG in the prefix field manually.... etc...
French administration does not care about DXCC... Yes, I know, they 
should, but the US does not either (1x1 callsigns)... HI HI
