Yep, I knew about that one. The info comes from a file called COUNTRY
FILE which I build regularly using a program that grabs the info from all
sorts of sources. One of them had "Columbia" for "Colombia" and this was
dutifully copied over :-)
>"Phillipines" (which should be spelled "Colombia" and "Philipines").
Well, in English this is spelled Philippines with one l and 2 p. The
current COUNTRY FILE has the right spelling. If an older version said
"Phillipines" this would indeed by incorrect. In that case I assume that
one of the sources my program uses was initially wrong and was corrected
since then.
