[Xastir] Xastir & Leopard (Mac)

[Nick]

All,

    Since I have Xaster up and running on Leopard, I will offer this one 
very tidbit of information, I highly recommend only doing an upgrade 
install and NOT a clean install.  Reading a lot of internet sites 
dedicated to Apple, almost everyone experiencing problems did clean 
installs, but people doing upgrade installs seem to have little problems.

    I am not experienced enough to assist with the technical aspects of 
Xastir or X11 to to provide any help with any of the problems I see 
people having.

Cheers and 73,

Nick
