Joop,

Thanks for your advice. Sorry for the delay in responding, but it's 
taken me a while to solve the issue. In the hamlib "help" forum, Martin 
(AA6E) suggested the latest CVS build of hamlib. When I downloaded and 
compiled it, the hamlib problem with Xlog 1.9 was solved. The country 
maps are terrific.

Of course now you have 2.0 out, so I'm still a step behind...
