  Here's what I think I'm using.  I've got about six on my system, and I 
can never remember which directory xastir is looking in for this release

   I grabbed this one out of /usr/share/xastir/maps/Online/ which is the 
AUTOMAP directory listed in my current xastir.cnf file

# Transparent tells the program and image handling software what
# color is to be considered transparent.  In this case, it's white
# and valid for a 24-bit color map.
#TRANSPARENT 0xffffff
# The following should work for a 16-bit color map.
#TRANSPARENT 0x0ffff
# The following should work for all color maps, now.
TRANSPARENT 0x000000000

>From what I remember, this is stock from the distro, with the only change 
being the TRANSPARENT line, so I could overlay it on the tigermaps.
