source files that have been modified.  The revised source files are
available here:
http://www.175moonlight.com/xastir/new-Xastir-src_2018-11-25.tar.gz

Sample geo files are available here:
http://www.175moonlight.com/xastir/Xastir-Geo-files_2018-11-25.tar.gz

The WMS_nationalmap.gov, Stamen, and OpenTopo files will work without any
source code modifications. The others will not work until after recompiling
with the 5 updated source files.  Geo files need to be copied to
/usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Online

The sample geo files I shared previously will not work with the most up to
date mods, so both the source files and geo files I shared earlier will
need to be replaced.  I would appreciate any feedback on how this stuff
works (or doesn't).  There's no guarantee that these mods will make it into
an official Xastir release, so this may be your only opportunity to play.
:-)
