[Xastir] XASTIR not picking up maps

[vk4tec]

Spot on Tom, I am converting the .jpg files to .xpm and they are working

I am using "convert" xxx.jpg to xxx.xpm

I have Imagemagik, but XASTIR does not seem to want to use it ????

Do you have to do anything special to allow XASTIR to use ImageMagick ?
