[Dx4win] Error message

[Joe Stepansky]

Paul,

Thank you so much! That's exactly what it was, no country.dat file in the \save folder. Copied one over from \backup and I'm good to go.  And if it happens again, I now know what to do.

73, Joe KQ3F

Close the program and check that the file save\country.dat is present. I have seen multiple reports of this file disappearing. I speculate that this is due to an overzealous virus checker. You likely have a backup copy in the backup sub-directory. 
Also check if you use a secondary backup that is on a network drive or USB stick. These connections often go away and come back again.
