I thought about that, but my concern is that requiring an extended RDB as part of an xastir install seems a bit heavy for a typical user. I'm basing this concern on a typical MySQL installation. Am I off base? On the other hand, I did find that there are GIS extensions for sqlite, and Qt has sqlite extensions. (For those of you who care, sqlite is a library-only SQL that uses plain files for the database. No external packages, no daemons. it's very convenient for portable lighter-weight RDB work.) > Great idea. Keep us posted! Will you be teaching parts of this? Nah, I'm just staff (only a BS), and this is a graduate course. I have high hopes, 'cause these folks should be capable of some good work. If they'll just pick my (our) project.... -- -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir-dev
