2009-06-20 Thread Murry

[Xastir] Soundmodem on OSX

2009-06-20 Thread Keith Kaiser
What with the success of Murry and all I thought I would at least ask the question. Have any of the Mac OSX guys tried installing soundmodem on their Macs? I must admit I'm a little confused by it anyway. The web site makes it sound like it's a complete replacement for a TNC or can be

Curt, If I understood what the script does, it snags the files from NWS and places them into the xastir/Counties directory. Very neat. Ran the script and found that it had put all of the files in place. Now I need to wait for some weather to see if they work. Thanks, Bill
