I've attached an updated database file, which I reformatted from software77.net (see above post for details). Future versions of GLA will support this file format without modifications, but for the moment I had to make a custom version so that 1.0 would import it.

I believe that this database should be better than the one which is currently bundled with GLA 1.0. I'd be interested to hear comments from people who reported some problems with the existing database - maybe this updated one improves the situation?

How to upgrade your database? Easy, just follow the upgrade instructions in the original install.txt file included with the GLA zip file. Updating should take less than a minute.

I'm also going to need a bit of help from you guys. There are new country codes added to this version of the database, namely these countries:
AP - non-specific Asia-Pacific location
CS - Serbia and Montenegro (Formally Czechoslovakia)
YU - Serbia and Montenegro (Formally Yugoslavia) (Being phased out)
EU - non-specific European Union location
FX - France, Metropolitan
PS - Palestinian Territory, Occupied
UK - United Kingdom (standard says GB)
* ZZ - IETF RESERVED address space.

I need some assistance from other people for the following tasks:

• Check if the existing flag set contains all flags in the ISO-3166 list (in other words, are there other countries missing from the current flag set?)
• Check that the current flagset actually represents the flags of the country codes (some flags may have changed)
• Draw (or copy and adapt) any new flags missing from the current flag set, and possibly extend the flag sets linked here.

The idea would then be to put these extended flag sets up for download at software77.net to allow everyone using their free database (not just GLA users) the chance to get flags to match the most current database. If you enjoy GLA and think it is useful, I'd be grateful if you could help me out with any of the above tasks.
