SRA Poll by
Sam Giltner[_1_]

I purchased a glider that came with a PZL Vario (WRs-5D). All of

components for this system, but I am looking to see if anyone has
a manual on how to correctly set this up.

SeeYou and Linux by
Martin Gregorie[_4_]
Has anybody tried running SeeYou (the desktop version, not SeeYou mobile)
under Linux?
Did it work?
If so, how did you do it, i.e. did you use WINE or did you go the guest
OS route and host a copy of XP under VMWare or Xen?
TIA
