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

[David Spoelstra]

Mine's been running flawlessly since I tweaked it March 4. I had been using
the -N parameter for wget, but it mysteriously stopped working several
months ago so now I just delete the file and get a new copy.

One subtle thing that caught me out years ago, is to make sure that the
directory /spider/cmd_import exists because /spider/perl/DXCommandmode.pm
uses it to run some of the DXSpider command scripts in my crontab below.
