OK - It'll be the Counties one that is being used. . . . From the XASTIR
readme. . . .
======================
Note that weather alert shapefiles must go into the
/usr/local/share/xastir/Counties directory. All other shapefiles must go
into the /user/local/share/xastir/maps directory (and subdirectories
below that of your choosing).
Check that Map|Enable Weather Alerts is enabled, and "Map|Disable All Maps"
is _not_ selected.
======================
If we can confirm that these files are working correctly with Xastir I'll
update the web pages accordingly.
BTW - SEC no longer exists - you'll need to grab the latest z_ and c_ files
(dated 20no08) as SEC conflicted with a national code in the US. SEC is
now replaced by SEQ

Geoff
