[Xastir] NWS Warning Maps

[Dale Seaburg]

If I understand Gerry correctly, this script has to be run regularly  
to keep the NWS data reasonably current, correct?  Assuming this is  
affirmative, then perhaps a cron job should be setup to automate this?

BTW, I had to use 'sudo' to allow writing to the xastir/Counties  
path.  I hope I have my xastir set up correctly.
