[WT-support] Country File Error?

[Bill Albrant]

Hi Bob...

I've been dealing with a similar issue. You mentioned *"**It's also possible
that you edited a copy of the a file in the Win-Test directory instead of
the one in the /countryfiles directory.*"

Which is which, and how do I make sure I'm editing the correct file???

Thanks... this would help me a great deal as I use Win-Test DXpedition Mode
for home logging in addition to contests...
