Hej Tor,

The new country file has all the QSL managers from the old country
file, plus more.

If you have made local changes to your QSL managers, then you have to
decide how important it is to keep them.

You could do this:

- export the QSL managers from your old country file
- install new country file
- import your saved QSL managers from the old file, *keeping* the
existing QSL manager data.

The only problem with this method is that sometimes QSL managers
change, now your file will have both old and new manager, and DX4WIN
will always pick the manager with the first callsign alphabetically.
For example, if AD1C was the *old* manager, and KK4HD is the *new*
manager, when you merge, AD1C will still be shown as the manager
because that call comes first in the alphabet.
