Curt,
I hope I'm not bugging you too much, but these problems I just can't 
seem to put down and leave.
My version of xastir is 1.2.1. Have not tried cvs, yet.  Will give it a 
shot latter. 
Imagicmagick will not open any jpeg files---I tried on various ones.
Qv will open all the jpegs I tried except the one in the tmp directory.  
The very last line in the strings command is html.  Also says other 
stuff like "exceeding acceptable limits for paramaters: <br>.  Somthing 
about font color=#cc0000>*Error occured on request*</font><br>
I will other map files, but I sure would like to pin this problem down.
