I didn't actually send an attachment of any kind, I sent a link to a web site (http://kaiserklan.com/xastir/snapshot.png) and the contents of the dbfawk file called MASTER. Which is;

# BEGIN is called once per dbf file which contains multiple records.
BEGIN {
# dbfinfo is the "signature" of the dbf file listing the column names in order. # dbfinfo should match the dbf file that we say this dbfawk file goes with.
dbfinfo="GridSquare";

# dbffields is which of the above fields we actually want to look at.
# Note that the order we list these is important since we are appending the
# word County or Parish depending on what state the county is in.
dbffields="GridSquare"}

# BEGIN_RECORD is called once per dbf record which contains multiple fields.
# Use this rule to re-initialize variables between records.
# color was 40.
BEGIN_RECORD {color=65;
              lanes=2;
              name="";
              symbol="";
              fill_style="";
              fill_color=23;
              fill_stipple="";
              pattern=0;
              display_level=8192;
              label_level=5000;
              label_color=65;
              font_size=1;
              key="";
              filled=0;
              pattern=0;
              symbol="";}

/^GridSquare=(.*)$/ {name="$1 ";}

#END {}

Whats your zoom level set to also in the dbfawk file?  Under a certain
value, they won't show up either. You can adjust that zoom level in the
dbfawk file also

Below is an output snapshot of Xastir, please note the grid square
lines and lack of labels. Below the link is the file MASTER.dbfawk, it seems no matter what I use for any of the color= values it never changes what I see on screen. Please note the snapshot includes the about help
file so you can see what is loaded.

Attachments are not passed through to this list server, so we can't see
what you posted.

Are you certain your dbfinfo line is correct?  Are there any messages
spewed to the console about not finding matching DBFAWK signatures (you would have to start xastir from a terminal window to see those messages,
not from a desktop icon shortcut)?

The fact that your changes to the dbfawk file seem to have no effect
would indicate that somehow Xastir is not associating that dbfawk file with the dbf file that goes with your grid files. This could be either because you put it in the wrong place, or because the signature doesn't
really match.
