It's easier than that. Near the top of the installation instructions, it says:
"The country file contains version information. If you try to log the callsign "VERSION" (without the quotes) and hit the tab or space key, look at the "QSL Mgr" field in the logbook. This will be the release date of the QSL manager database, and will usually match the release date of the country file, unless you have imported a different QSL manager database." It sounds like your father is not running DX4WIN in "Expert" mode. That opens up some menu options.
