I do not know how to fix the "unknown" countries in my log. I know

country data for a qso?

You will need to edit the cty.dat file or at least make sure you
have the latest version.

Ed,
Thanks. I have the latest version provided by the PCLinuxOS
repository, which is 2.0.3. However, I will look for cty.dat, and
edit that.

Jan, you need to edit the cty.dat file not xlog. You need to make sure
you have the latest version of cty.dat.
I would also suggest spending a few minutes reading the xlog help file.

Ed,
I found the cty.dat file. Cty.dat lacks information on a number of
special DX calls (TO0DX, etc.), and it can be updated. If someone else
does this, be warned that after making a change to cty.dat, you must
close and reopen xlog for it to begin using the updated cty.dat. Also,
when a new version of xlog replaces cty.dat, the changes made locally
will be lost.
With regard to reading the help file, the only file that seems to have
directions is the one called "Manual," which is a very brief
introduction, and does not seem to address the question about unknown
countries. Perhaps I have overlooked something; I have done that before.
I admit that I have come to xlog from the experience of Logger32 in
Windows, and I have habits about how to do things that do not apply to xlog.
I truly appreciate your guidance about cty.dat. That helps me to make
decisions about how to log or annotate an entry, and whether to expect
to see it in the xlog summary of countries worked.
73,
Jan, KX2A
