Yes, the wxnowsrv.pl script was added in the 2.1.0 release for exactly the reason that many weather stations can create wxnow.txt files, but Xastir has native support for only a handful of weather stations that provide data in other formats. The script reads the wxnow.txt file and masquerades as a Davis weather server, so that new code didn't have to be written in Xastir to support the format.
