[Xastir] Maps?

[Dale Seaburg]

With regards to this latest digest note from Curt, is there a wiki entry 
somewhere dealing with making / modifying dbfawk files?
I still have my Tigerline maps from 200x vintage for all 254 counties in 
Texas.  I recall having to make a few changes some time ago, but I've 
slept since then.  ;-)

Dale.
