This update covers the track map and involves, though you shouldn't see it, changes to scripts and additional JAR files. The (world) map is accessed from a database and is then cached in temporary files at two resolutions.

The utility ott2qxf had been updated to bring it into line with the new a1d2qxf (converts an ancient tidal format called A1D). The essential difference is the utilities can process more than one file per invocation.

E.g   a1d2qxf  *.a1d. These can used immediately.

To get a track map use 'R' - as before - but you must be in single-series mode. On the map page(world icon) use the square brackets to delimit a box. This will then be used for the track map on the timeseries page, otherwise you get the whole world. 'I' and 'O' keys control the zoom direction. You will see the screen icon change. Left-clicking then zooms the map. Alternatively you can use the middle button and get (+/-) icon. Then left- and right-clicking zoom in and out.
