If you click on the blue "link above" in the Installation instructions section of the DX4WIN Country File page (http://www.country-files.com/dx4win/index.htm), it takes you to the top of the same page. If you click on "DX4WIN.CTY #90" in the first sentence, it takes you to the DX4WIN.CTY Revision History page. Then, you click on "Release #90 - 16 January 2011" to download the zip file that Jim mentioned.
