Better said than what I said. Thanks Dan.

I like the voice feature, but it becomes completely worthless and overloads
festival's buffer when there are more than 3-4 callsigns inside the maximum
area, depending on the GPS update time. I have had to wait 10 minutes for
the buffer to "read" itself out in busy areas.

I use xastir in my car laptop, and it would become even more invaluable with
the above features. My main use would be to hear how close I was to another
unit when roaming around a course in a public service event.

Any hope of implementation?

Thanks

I believe this feature was added to support a particular event.
Memory is fuzzy, but I think it might have been the NYC Marathon or
similar.  The idea was that they could listen to the speech instead
of having to watch the map to know where each tracker was in
relation to each checkpoint along the course.

Hello,

If you have significant changes that cross multiple files, I would  use:
'diff -urN ...'

'r' tells diff to recurse the tree, looking for changes.
'N' tells diff to pick up new files added to the tree.

If you are using CVS, I also recommended adding to ~/.cvsrc:
cvs -z3
checkout -P
update -PAd
diff -u

This way, you don't have to worry about options anymore; They're
automatic.

Tom,

Thanks for the tip on including diff's in email. "diff -u" it is.

Well, the more troublesome thing is using old-style diff instead of unified
diff --- it's harder to work with the old-style diff format when there's any
version clash at all.  Next time please use "diff -u" instead of just plain 
"diff" for maximum efficiency.
