As an alternative, I would suggest that we try to port the ATIS feature over to the new system. In my earlier mail, I implied doing that; I'm sorry if that didn't come across. (Having an ATIS that is integrated with the AIModels based system has several additional advantage, such as better integration with the slowly but steadily emerging ATC system for AIModels/Traffic manager traffic, and others). I'll have a look at what I can do this weekend. And, as an aside, but I'm sure everybody is aware of that: only the _default_ compilation behavior is changed. If you compile with --enable-atcdcl, you'll still be able to get ATIS messages.
