I'm having trouble setting the correct symbol for our EOC station.
When I
select the EOC symbol from the Primary Symbol Table, I get a lower-
case "oh"
in the Symbol box, which is correct. But the map displays "no sym
set".
What am I doing wrong?

The PC in question is an IBM laptop with XP. I have the latest Hardy
VMware installed, so I assume that everything should be OK. Xastir
version 1.9.5 is preloaded. If I hand-enter the proper Overlay and
Symbol codes the graphic symbol for EOC appears. But, using the
Select button to choose from the Primary/Secondary Symbol Tables, I
don't get the Overlay returned. I did look for the symbols
directory. It's there with the various *.xbm and symbols.dat files.
I just looked at my home station. I can select the EOC icon via the
Select button and when I return to the Station setup screen, the
proper Group/Overlay and Symbol codes appear along with the actual
graphics symbol. I am running 1.9.0... Yikes! I need to update my
home station! I also see the symbols.dat and other *.xbm files in
the symbols directory. My path is /usr/share/xastir, rather than /
usr/local/share/xastir. Probably the way I installed back almost two
years ago.
So, the mystery continues...
