[Xastir] Wx Alerts

[Dana Rawding]

When you built Xastir on the Leopard machine did you run the get- 
NWSdata script.  It appears that the script is currently broken as the  
following files are no longer available on the weather.gov server:

http://www.weather.gov/geodata/catalog/wsom/data/oz15de04.zip
http://www.weather.gov/geodata/catalog/wsom/data/fz17ap07.zip
http://www.weather.gov/geodata/catalog/wsom/data/mz30nv06.zip
http://www.weather.gov/geodata/catalog/wsom/data/z_11mr07.zip

Not an OS X problem.
