[Xastir] db2APRS

[Clay Jackson]

I'd be completely amazed and flabbergasted if it did work;  as I said,  
the code is very specific about having the database tables be meteo  
specific.

I just sent Andreas (Meteo author) a set of perl scripts to do  
WeatherUnderground from Meteo - if you're interested in those let me  
know and I can send you a copy.  What OS/distro are you using?
