At this point, I don't remember what the details were on this. Soon after this I was trying to upgrade xastir to 1.9.5 and it blew up. I haven't been able to get it to compile on my Mac since, regardless of which version of xastir. I was trying to borrow enough from Macports.Org to help xastir get working, but Macports had problems, and Xastir did not like it, even though I have wiped it all out and tried to start over. Eventually, I got it to compile but when I run it, it says "Error: Unresolved inheritance operation" and quits. For the time being, I decided to move to VirtualBox with a Linux VM. One of these days I'll take another run at it; my machine now needs a *serious* cleanup.

Also, Craig, N6YXK said that he was having trouble with the secondary
road appearance not doing as he expected when zooming in/out.  I did
play a bit with the edge.dbfawk and the rule: "/^MTFCC=S12/ . . ."
Changing the "display_level" value did make my secondary roads change
size/color at different zoom levels.  That may help, Craig.

How puzzling. You should not be able to change the size and color at different zoom levels through dbfawk rules. You can only turn shapes on or off based on zoom. You can use "display_level" and "label_level" to define the lowest zoom level at which a shape (or its label) is displayed, but there shouldn't be any
way that you can make the color or width change at varying levels.

One could construct an elaborate collection of copies (or symlinks) of
maps with different per-file dbfawks and use the "min zoom" and "max zoom" properties in the map properties dialog to get such an effect, but it would
make God cry and probably kill a kitten or two.
