[tor-talk] no country flags in Vidalia 2.10

Never really payed much attention to country flags in Tor Network map - in Vidalia 2.10 or earlier versions. But, they don't show up when running Tor under my limited (Vista) acct. I figured out by looking at the error / message log, that Tor / Vidalia * "couldn't find the "geoip" file" * in

[tor-talk] ExitNodes / ExcludeNodes syntax

Should there be spaces *ANYWHERE* between commas separating data entries for torrc file commands, ExitNodes or ExcludeNodes, etc? Or does it matter? Like: ExitNodes {cc}, {cc}, {cc} (spaces after commas & before next entry) or: ExitNodes {cc},{cc},{cc} (no spaces after commas and next entry
