I updated the utility to compare your DX4WIN DXCC credits with ARRL
Logbook of the World:  You can download version 6.3 from:

   http://dx4win.ad1c.us/lotw/

This version is compatible with DX4WIN.CTY dated 12 September 2013 and
after, though it should still work with DX4WIN.CTY dated 11 March 2012
and later (not tested).

Here are the release notes:

    Ver 6.3 - 24 September 2013

        Glorioso Islands prefix change from FR/G to FT/G
        Juan de Nova, Europa prefix change from FR/J to FT/J
        Tromelin Island prefix change from FR/T to FT/T

The prefixes in the DX4WIN country file were recently changed to match
the January 2013 release odf the ARRL DXCC List of current entities
at:

    http://www.arrl.org/files/file/DXCC/2013%20DXCC%20Current_a.pdf

Please let me know if you have any problems.

In the coming weeks, I will be re-writing this program to use a
different DXCC report type from the ARRL LoTW web site.  This will
have several advantages:

1.  New report is simpler to download
2.  Program should be immune to prefix changes going forward
3.  Distribution will include a real Windows installer
