[Xastir] VMWare, CVS, & DAO -- probably dumb questions...

I don't have the VMware version installed myself, so I can only half
help you here. I believe the VMware image was built with Xastir from
CVS. It probably already has whatever DAO features are in the dev
version of Xastir (I don't know specifically what these are--Curt?).

If you'd like to update Xastir to the most current CVS version, run
the update-xastir.sh script. It will be in the main Xastir source
directory, probably ~/src/xastir/update-xastir.sh or similar. If you
do a "locate update-xastir.sh" from terminal, it should find it; then
you'll know where to go to run it. The update-xastir.sh script will
download the latest from CVS, compile, and install it. You'll be asked
halfway through the process for your sudo password.

Hope this helps.
