Thanks Tom, I did see that type of format in some of the pre-made contest 
rules, so you are probably correct that the separate file needs that too.
Perhaps I should have tried it first before asking, but this way it will get 
included in the documentation.

Subject: Re: TLF logger, countrylist file format?

Hi Gerard,

I think there is one piece of information missing from the
documentation: 

You have to start the line of countries with the name of the actual contest. 
That means if you have a line

CONTEST=beru

in your logcfg.dat than the countrylist line should read

beru:<cty1>,<cty2>,.....

You can put the line in a file and use 

COUNTRYLIST=<filename>

or you can put the line directly into the COUNTRYLIST definition

COUNTRYLIST=beru:...... 

If that does not help, please send us a copy of your logcfg.dat and the 
countrylist file.

73, de Tom

P.S. I will be away for some days starting on Saturday. So if above suggestions 
do not work please contact the other OMs at TLFs mailing list 
(tlf-devel@nongnu.org). They will be glad to give some more advice.
