Still no tigermap displayed.  The tigermap configure is indeed there, with the appropriate entries selected, but no tigermap is displayed.  Whither now?

Did you get a .gif or a .jpg into your ~/.xastir/tmp directory?  If

timestamps on it to see if it's recent.

You need to be zoomed in a bit also.  World view doesn't work so well
with those servers.
