Sorry Curt - tried twice to reply to this from work today, and it ain't 
made the reflector yet - can only figure something's screwed up with my 
ISPs webmail service.

Third try is a charm as they say

Nope, brand new FC1 install - xastir only from CVS. Oldest it could've 
been is about 2 weeks.

check: it is. Do these srb_xxx.geo files need to be in 
~/xastir/maps/Online ???

ftp://kc7zru.net/xastir/maps/Srb_geos.zip for the colection of files I'm 
using here.

Well, the files that aren't showing up in the map chooser are the text 
srb_xxx.geo files. However, if I follow the URL in the file, save the 
referenced gif file localy and then run 'display latest.gif' - I get a 
great display of a radar image.

OK, between CITRIX and SCP I managed to get into the company LAN and 
read this file from that box at work, here's the contents:

  Festival ShapeLib ImageMagick libProj GeoTiff GDAL/OGR PCRE

/usr/local/share/xastir/maps/<win|WY> both show in the map_index.sys 
file same as the ~/xastir/maps/geos directory does. Difference is 
<win|WY> also have their respective files listed. None of the 
srb_xxx.geo files are listed in map_index.sys nor do they show in the 
map chooser.

Permissions/ownerships are set as -rwxr--r-- root root for all the 
files, directories also have go+x same as they are on this box here at 
the house, that works.

Thanks again - sorry the replies haven't been getting to the reflector.
