Yep.  I had a dull day and spare CPU cycles.

If you used ogr2ogr and no special tricks that would change the dbf
signature, then they should.  If you converted them with a different
tool then all bets are off.

I did notice that weather alerts in my area do not show up for some
reason, but when I connect to firenet and get them for all over the
country I see them elsewhere.  I have not had time to figure out why,
and the weather's been great here ever since then...

I have also noticed that there is some oddness that causes all
shapefiles to be displayed at about a 50% dash if any weather alert
shows up anywhere in the field of view, and it stays that way for
good.  I have not spent any time tracking that down, either.
