Some programs have newer versions out there but SUSE RPMs for them are hard to find, XASTIR is one.
Hmm, IIRC Xastir has a licence issue... Ah, yes, found it. rotated.c states: /* xvertext 5.0, Copyright (c) 1993 Alan Richardson (mppa3@uk.ac.sussex.syma) * * Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its * documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted, provided * that the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that both the * copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting * documentation.

Thus I feel reluctant to package Xastir, despite Xastir being an excellent program... 73, -- Joerg Reuter DL1BKE http://yaina.de/jreuter And I make my way to where the warm scent of soil fills the evening air.
