    Hi Kjell,<br class="">
    Thanks for your help.<br class="">
    <br class="">
    I've understood now. But however despite having downloaded the last
    cty.dat from the following URL:<br class="">
    <br class="">
    <a href="https://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat" target="_blank" class="">https://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat</a><br class="">
    <br class="">
    the DXCC entity identifying the version is not "Guinea-Bissau-J5"
    but "Cocos-Keeling-Islands-VK9C": so, if I'm not wrong, this means
    that the cty.dat file downloaded is not the last one.<br class="">
    <br class="">
    Of course, after cty.dat download in /spider/data, I've done the
    spider/perl/<a href="http://create_prefix.pl/" target="_blank" class="">create_prefix.pl</a> and finally, into the spider console
    done the "load/prefix" command.<br class="">
    <br class="">
    Kjell, please could you tell me the exact path for downloading the
    last cty.dat file ?<br class="">
    <br class="">
    Thank you and sorry for noise to the others.<br class="">
