1)Manager's data are in Country file. Jim, AD1C updates the qsl 
manager's data with the country file. If you had updated the country 
file you would have the right data (i can confirm that the last file has 
ea5gl as manager for p29no). The right practice is to use the update 
file by Jim. To be sure that Jim's file has the right data for me, i 
keep notes for any changes and send them to him. When i download the 
file i confirm that my changes are in and throw my paper. It is easy to 
do it and if everyone did that, we all have a better country file.
2) Almost same as above. You can update address info at 
file>databases>manager address. Maybe you need to be in expert mode to 
do this (file>preferences>user level). Also Jim make an updated file. 
But maybe g3txf is too long. A note to Jim will correct it the next time.
So this is why we all love Jim!!
Finally he made a program to have all these updates automated. The only 
manual procedure for me is to keep notes in a small piece of paper every 
day...
