Yep, that doesn't match any that we have.

Try this:

copy /usr/local/share/xastir/config/nwsz_ddmmyy10b.dbfawk to 
/usr/local/share/xastir/config/nwsz_ddmmyy11.dbfawk

Edit your new file, remove what's currently between the quotation marks
after "dbfinfo=" and replace it with what you have above.  Since STATE_ZONE
and NAME still exist, that should be all that is needed to create a new
dbfawk that matches the signature of your new file.

the nwsz_ddmmyy10b.dbfawk is the one that's closest to what you have, but
honestly, the only difference between them is pretty much in that dbfinfo
line.  So long as they continue to have fields that are called STATE_ZONE
and NAME, that line is all you need to change to fix the problem.

Well, I run BASH, not tcsh, but yeah, it's shell-specific syntax.
