Legacy by default is programmed to not have "County" or "Co." in the field where users write the county name for USA locations. However this is a user- selectable item and Millennia has provided a way, albeit not obvious, for users that wish otherwise to have their choice. I have arranged Legacy to function with " Co." after county names and have absolutely no problems running Legacy this way. To get this feature and change the default it is necessary to make a copy of Legacy's GeoExtraCodes.txt file and name it to GeoExtraCodes-Alt.txt Then edit that Alt file in a text editor (e.g. NotePad), following the instructions at the beginning of the file, to obtain the choice you'd like. There are messages in the archives detailing this procedure, or if you wish, get back here for further details.
