If I understand Gerry correctly, this script has to be run regularly
to keep the NWS data reasonably current, correct? Assuming this is
affirmative, then perhaps a cron job should be setup to automate this?
BTW, I had to use 'sudo' to allow writing to the xastir/Counties
path. I hope I have my xastir set up correctly.

Curt,
If I understood what the script does, it snags the files from NWS
and
places them into the xastir/Counties directory. Very neat.
Ran the script and found that it had put all of the files in
place. Now I
need to wait for some "weather" to see if they work.
Thanks,
Bill

Which of the available county warning maps and public forecast

I understand that the county maps go into the Counties directory.
Do the
zone maps go into the usual maps directory?
Look at the xastir/scripts/get-NWSdata script to see what it
currently snags.
As far as where they go, look at the script, or read README.MAPS
which is distributed with Xastir.
