The format of GNIS files changed recently. Xastir does not recognize the new format, and the new format is missing some of the information that Xastir would have used to decided what zoom level at which to stop displaying some data --- so the code cannot easily be modified to use the new format. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
