Though I couldn't find it in the manual (I could've missed it), I thought TR
had a feature where a text file could be displayed instead of calls from
TRMASTER.DTA when a call from a particular country was typed in.

The format of the file was:

<cty.dat label>
[text to be displayed when call of this country is typed in]

<cty.dat label for next country>
[text to be displayed when call of this country is typed in]

etc, etc.

Not perfect, but this could be used like this:

UA9
You can only work UA0s in A-P Sprint!

KH6
You cannot work KH6s in A-P Sprint!

VR
Make sure to work VR2BG in A-P Sprint!
