[aprssig] APRS-IS to NMEA sentence generator

[Gregory A. Carter]

As a followup, I wrote a quick and dirty little perl script to basically
connect to our server, request and subsequently output NMEA waypoint data.
Should be easy to pipe that data to just about anything you want...

http://dcc.openaprs.net/clients/perl.pl

Hope that helps...
