There are some class libraries I think. Check SourceForge. Can't
recall whether they were Java or C++.
Make sure you check out the APRS Errata page on Bob's site as well,
as you really need those corrections to the spec. Also keep the
Xastir source handy, as there will be even more things here and
there that you'll come across that aren't in the spec or errata, but
necessary. If/when you find those, report them to the aprsspec
mailing list please.
Curt. One of the Xastir guys.
