In what way are they limited?  You can have about 530 
"countires" in CTY.DAT - but you have to make
sure you follow the same foramt or you will
only pickup every other line. 

Send me a copy of the CTY.Dat that you created.

Yep - that might be a good idea.

You can put the CTY.DAT that you want to use in the 
same directory that you have your logcfg.dat in and 
TR should look there first.
