You can't rely on the file date of country.dat - it gets re-written
every time you exit DX4WIN.
Instead, try this. It has been this way for a long time:
http://www.country-files.com/contest/#Version
The instructions aren't technically correct for DX4WIN, but the same
principle holds:
In your logging program, try to log the callsign “VERSION” (on a
DX cluster node, use the SH/H VERSION or SH/SUN VERSION command). Each
version of the country files will return a different country (except
for Win-Test, see #3 below). That country will be indicated in the
release notes for that version.
I need to add this information to this page, but I have not had time:
