The virus cannot have any knowledge of a language code. And much less of the
language used by its next victim...

Thanks for the advice. When I finally succeed at resurrecting my 1995 disk
that hold a copy of Keld's repository, I will try to make profit of it.
BTW, my own copy of 3166 is in fact derived from an rewrite of 4217, as
found in TDED, as used in EDI. It is a beautiful copy on green paper sheets.
It is dated 1986, IIRC. So it probably predates all these "new"
repositories, sorry Keld ;-).

We were speaking about ccTLD. A different beast. Try to resolve ANYTHING.GB.
on a root server, or alternatively to seek UK in ISO 3166, to understand
what I mean.
