Country Directories Dialog Help

This dialog edits a file where all information about available countries is.

Name of the country or state:

If the country is not split in states (or sub-countries), this is the name of the country.
If there are several states for the country, this is the name of the State.
For example, for the country USA, this may by Alabama.
In this case, owner country field must be filled with the name of the country (USA) and you must have a record with the Name of country or state field being USA.

Associated directory:

The name of the directory for the country or state. Not the complete path.
If there is no state for the country, this name is the name of the folder for the country files (lonlat.pra and z?.pra).
Suppose the main Proastro directory for all countries is c:\countries, and the associated directory for the country New-Zeland is nz, then Proastro will search for cities and time zone for this country in the c:\countries\nz folder.
If the country (say USA with associated folder usa_dir) has states, then, if the associated directory for Alabama is ala, Proastro will search the Alabama cities in the folder c:\countries\usa_dir\ala.

Owner country:

If the Name of country or state is the one of a country without state, the field must be blank.
If the country is split in several states, this field must be filled with the name of the (owner) country.
For example, USA is split in several states. So if the Name of the country or state is Alabama, this field must be USA.
