I've run TT1's and TT2's with no trouble with Xastir.  Not very
recently though.

I had trouble receiving a friend's TT2 at one point with Xastir.
Turned out his symbol and symbol table characters were programmed
backwards.  Ok, I'll confess, I set that one up for him and just
typed it in quickly instead of checking each field.  You might check
that.

I've also had trouble at times with TT's when I had long comment
fields in there.  Short fields or no comments seem to work the best.
