Things are faster now:  Keep checking CVS for the latest.  I don't
know if it's on the anon CVS server yet, but if not, it soon will
be.

Steve Dimse (the findu guy) did some nice zoom changes at the server
end which allowed corresponding changes to be made to Xastir.  These
reduce size of the downloaded images (Toporama maps).  Good for
those of us on dialup links for sure!

Thanks Steve!
