[Dxspider-support] CTY-3105 Country Files - 03 March 2021

[David Spoelstra]

OK, now you guys made me check mine and I'm having problems too! I do the
following:
    cd /spider/data
    wget -qN http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat
    wget -qN http://www.country-files.com/cty/wpxloc.raw
I check the dates and they look correct:
-rw-r--r--  1 sysop spider  77K Mar  3 18:03 cty.dat
-rw-r--r--  1 sysop spider 538K Mar  3 18:03 wpxloc.raw

I look inside cty.dat and see: C3,=VERSION;

Then I run:
/spider/perl/create_prefix.pl
which updates:
    -rw-r--r--  1 sysop spider 821K Mar  3 18:15 prefix_data.pl
Then I login to my cluster and run "load/prefixes" which works.

But, when I run "sh/prefix version" I get: VERSION DXCC: 12 ITU: 27 CQ: 14
LL: 42 35 N 1 37 E (VERSION, Andorra-C3)
Which doesn't match what you all are getting!

When I looked in prefix_data.pl I see:
  '=VERSION' => '75',

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
-David, N9KT
