The virus cannot have any knowledge of a language code.

Thanks for the advice. When I finally succeed at resurrecting my 1995 disk that hold a copy of Keld's repository, I will try to make profit of it. BTW, my own copy of 3166 is in fact derived from an rewrite of 4217, as found in TDED, as used in EDI. It is a beautiful copy on green paper sheets. It is dated 1986, IIRC. So it probably predates all these "new" repositories, sorry Keld ;-). > Never forget that language codes and country/territory codes are different... We were speaking about ccTLD. A different beast. Try to resolve ANYTHING.GB. on a root server, or alternatively to seek UK in ISO 3166, to understand what I mean. Antoine
