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.

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.
