The CLX (DX Cluster for Linux) software already has a country database
(postgreSQL). Perhaps we could have used that.
Nothing wrong with what Hamish posted though...I will try to load it tonight.
Would keying by prefix speed up the looking-up process? (we're more likely
to want to know where '7O' is, or '4W')

The CTY.DAT list of DX entities is available and regularly updated:

I'm interested. The advantage of staying here would be the possibility of
attracting constructive comments.
