Hi All,

I've now had a go at it. I think it should work. What I've done is:-
(a) Added symbols to SYMBOLS.BMP and SYMBOLS.TXT for BBS and node.
(b) Added a [TRANSLATE] section to SYMBOLS.TXT, which allows you to put
in callsign patterns, or individual callsigns, and what you want them to
be displayed as. The default entries (which can, of course, be removed)
are:-
GB7???=BBS
GB7??=NODE
In the case you quote of the sysops callsign being used, then you could
add:-
G4MRU=BBS
(Although it would be better if he changed his '-' to a 'B'.)
The appropriate symbol and description is then used, irrespective of
whether the station is transmitting a full long/lat or just a locator.
Any comments will be gratefully received, before I put it in the next
update.
