Maybe I've been up too long, but couldn't you do this with shapefiles? Take the excel data and render a shapefile, with the shading factors reflecting the POS and have Xastir read the file periodically like it does weather alert shapefiles? EKG N1ICS Curt, WE7U wrote: On Wed, 10 Sep 2008,

Areal calculations of irregular geographic areas in, eg., Excel or OOcalc are prone to some errors. However, as an Xastir v2 request, using a spatial database, it'd be easy to get the area of a bounded region or polygon, using the tools already in PostGIS. gerry Eric Germann wrote: Maybe

With macports, I ran 'port uninstall openmotif' and that took care of it. It's been a while since I switched from fink to macports (I found that having both installed would really confuse things), but I think there is a similar command like fink uninstall packagename. Check man fink to
