Hey, very cool, thanks!

Well, when I first did this in SC 4.4 I didn't know about the isocodes 
project, and no-one else pointed it out at the time, so we have our own 
translations of the names.

I have since looked into using isocodes, but the names they translate are the 
official ISO name, which is not useful for us as they are not in any standard 
or consistent format, i.e. not all have the adjectival form of the country in 
the name, such as 'Pula' instead of 'Botswanan Pula'.

As earlier discussed on this list, I'm planning at some stage to approach the 
isocodes guys to discuss merging the two efforts by adding our names and other 
variables to their datafile and sharing the translations, as well as using 
their country code files and translations as well.  I haven't had time to do 
that for SC 4.5, so it's something for SC 4.6 now.

Cheers!

John.
