Chip,
When I did my rewrite of the dbfawk files to match the latest tigermaps,
I was dealing with several documents that the census document wrote
involving the translation between the old codes and new codes for what
the element meant in the shapefile. I broke out everything and made a
line for each characteristic. The documentation was not the most
exacting but at least they had a reasonably good cross-reference table
that made the job easier.
The same header appears several times because the same header
designation is used in different shapefiles.
Plus, having all the headers broken out would make customizing the
dbfawk files easier for anyone who had special requirements and needed
to provide tweaks to match their particular situation.

Something else I don't understand. I've been working on setting up,
and tweaking the new dbfawk files. Why do more than one of them
include the same coding? For example,
These lines (I've modified them)
/^MTFCC=H20/ {filled=1; fill_style=2; fill_stipple=2; color=117;
fill_color=117; label_color=33; display_level=1024;next}
/^MTFCC=H30/ {filled=1; fill_style=2; fill_stipple=2; color=117;
fill_color=117; label_color=33; display_level=1024;next}
These lines are in the following files:
areawater.dbfawk
edge.dbfawk
featnames.dbfawk
Also, there are red "X"s on the map, but I can't figure out where they
are being controlled. Seems like one of the dbfawks should be
responsible, but I can't see it. They never have labels at any zoom
level, so I can't determine what they are.

Can the dbfawk file be in either config directory and work? (/usr/
local/share/xastir/config OR ~/.xastir/config)
Chip, they go in the /usr/local/share/xastir/config folder. I've
never seen them in the home folder. OTOH, give it a try. Ya'never
know until you try.
