Good luck!
The FGD is needed only for collar trimming. It still works, but its absence has nothing to do with whether the map will show up in the chooser. And the map won't display until it's recast as an 8-bit pseudocolor image, because Xastir's GeoTIFF format doesn't support 3-band RGB images. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
