But why are you running such an old version?  I run CVS, which makes
upgrading a snap.  1.2.0 is from six months ago.  That's forever in
open-source land.  December 1st snapshot or CVS should run better
for you.  I run CVS, which makes upgrading a snap once you run the
two commands to set it up in the first place:


    cd xastir
    cvs update
    ./bootstrap.sh
    ./configure
    make
    make install-strip


Thanks for the nice comments.  I've been assuming by the few
questions raised on the lists, and by the way downloads have been
increasing over time, that things are going well.
