[Xastir] Rainfall

[Ray Wells]

Dave,

Thanks for the thought.

It's currently 3 am and I'm not in thinking mode. I will take a look at 
wview at a sensible hour.

Yes, I do run Linux - Mint 9 KDE on a couple of machines at home and 
Debian v4.0 at the radio station and for my aprs gateway at home. V4 is 
a bit old but it isn't broken.
