The GNIS data is meant to be a list of place names and the spots to which they apply. The primary purpose doesn't apparently require population data. But Xastir does. It was out of date, but at least it distinquished populated places with 100 people from populated places with 1,000,000. > I use the GNIS files, too, and I set up a few stripped files to reduce the > loading time. But even that won't work if the population data is gone. Yes. There was a reason we never updated the code to deal with the new stuff, and the code should be reverted. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
