To be honest I didn't dig deep enough to see how festival was deciding what to say. In most cases festival doesn't say the airport name, with KSFO being the most conspicuous exception. But I noticed that the names in default.atis had Intl, Rgnl, etc. spelled out completely, so I figured there was at least a chance that losing those expansions would choke festival up. Since it's just a stopgap I went the easy route, taking the existing names as-is which is known to work at least as well as it works now. > If that's all there is to it, a simple rule-based approach might > be preferable to hacking the databases.

Right, I imagine it can't be much harder than just that. -- Hans Fugal Fugal Computing ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
