[Xastir] Ubuntu Binary - additional question

[Amateur Radio WB8NUT]

  Thanks Lee. There are two different notations in the Wiki about 
starting the server. One says "festival_server &" The other says 
"festival --server &"

I was using the first. When I used the second version, it works fine.

Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks,

Duffy
