[aprssig] Graphics

[Wes Johnston]

The reason for the limit is quick basic was discontinued over 10 years ago. 
Even then it only supported minimal graphics that you see, and 2 comports at 
9600 baud.  Some "little" thing called VB replaced it.

http://www.tapr.org/~kb2scs/aprsscs.html seems to be filling the gap by 
carefully following the function and features of DOS aprs but in a windows 
environment.
