Depends completely on what system you have and how you install Xastir. Most packaged Xastir builds (and apparently the one David Ranch is using) generally put Xastir and its share directory under /usr. Hand-rolled source builds of Xastir put it under /usr/local unless told to do otherwise. -- 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://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
