Jim,

I for one would like to take the time to publicly thank you for the work you
do with the country files.  While I don't have the need to download the
edited version, the simple fact that you'd take the time to install the
program and specially make the file usable for those that do, is a monument
to your dedication.  I do however use the regular file and am always sure to
download it before each contest. 

Thanks for the work you do dude.. Its greatly appreciated!
