Yea, kind'a.  Plans are to go to a new software organization.  We've
been calling this the Xastir-2 project.  At the point we get that up
and running, you'll be able to start multiple clients and have as
many views as you want.  You'll even be able to start up multiple
clients on multiple computers, all attached to the same Xastir2
daemon.

I didn't see it, but I often use a headset/boom-mic attached to a
2-meter and carry sharp instruments which can do severe harm:  When
I'm bow-hunting.  No wheelchair yet, but there's always that chance.
