Hi, Curt:
Thanks.
However, my main issue is that I do not want to keep track of
development revisions. My main issue is that I want the 'stable'
version release and the 'stable' files. My original
opinion that I posted here, was that Xastir is developmental
code. Your posts seem to confirm this opinion.

Happy New Year, Chuck
