This is the same format as the .POS files in the .POS directory."

In case anyone doesn't recognize what this means, Xastir _does_
handle items just fine, so try sucking in the .POS file as an Xastir
log file (File->Open Log File) and see if you get items showing up
on your map. Turn off transmit of objects/items (Interface->Disable
Transmit:Objects/Items) and you're set.
Try it and see. I don't have any handy and haven't found any in
some quick searches.
Found one: No go. They're not item format in the one I found.
