Hi Gang,

I've posted the new country file.  Please run the UPDATER to get it.  I'll
post the release notes tomorrow morning.  Trying to log the callsign
VERSION should bring up the date 30-AUG-2004 in the QSL Mgr field, if you
have the new file.

NOTE:  there is a new IOTA "fulllist.xml" from the RSGB, which the UPDATER
should automatically pick up.  If you have worked any of the recently-added
IOTA, you should now be able to select the Island name in the QSO window
for those QSOs.

p.s. the new fullist.xml is what caused the country file to crash DX4WIN.
There were duplicate entries for all the new IOTA, both theirs and mine.
Once I found the problem, it was easy to fix.  fulllist.xml was posted just
after my last good country file (before I discovered and fixed one mismatch
in my log), but before the country file I wanted to release (with the last
fix).  This window of time was no more than 1/2 hour long!  Just bad luck
on my part, I guess.
