Starting from Xrmap-2.0, the binary format of the CIA World Data Bank II
used by xrmap HAS CHANGED. The new format is referred to as the JPD
format; it is approximately 4 times more compact than the earlier REZ
format, and allows a substantially quicker access to the data.

As a result, xrmap can NO LONGER ACCESS the previous CIA_map.rez file.
However, it is POSSIBLE TO CONVERT the REZ file into JPD format by
usning the 'rez2else' utility from the  tools/rez2else/ subdirectory.
Just 'cd' to there and type 'make' to compile 'rez2else'. Then type
something like

rez2else -format jpd -rezfile /usr/share/rmap/CIA_map.rez -output CIA_WDB2.jpd

(or possibly ./rez2else if ./ is not in your path). Then copy CIA_WDB2.jpd
into the SHAREDIR directory of xrmap (/usr/share/rmap by default). You can
erase 'CIA_map.rez' unless you still want to use rmap or the older versions 
of xrmap. The 'jpd2else' utility can convert back to REZ format if needed.

Starting from Xrmap-2.10, the format of the 'Locations' file has changed
a lot and is NO LONGER COMPATIBLE with earlier versions.
