Sorry to be boring here but I thought that I should
point this out. As well as being a glider pilot I am
also a scientist. There is already windows software out
there which is extremely popular in the structural
chemistry/physics community called WinGX. An unfortunate coincidence.
Just type WinGX into google and you'll get:-http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~louis/software/wingx/all the bestDave At 16:42 21 August 2003, Cecil E. Chapman wrote:Just my two cents (and 'no' I am not an employee or

Hi everyone, Hilton Software has spent over a year developing WingX.
Earlier thisweek, we announced general availability of the product. 'WingX is a Microsoft Pocket PC application designed
by pilots for pilots. WingX was designed from the ground up using the latest
.NET technologyfrom Microsoft to create an application that pilots could
use while down at the airport and away from their desktop PC at home.' Weight and Balance, Route Planning, Sunrise and Sunset
information, E6B calculations, and the new Expiration page are included.
FAA and Model Databases can be downloaded wireless or by connecting
your Pocket PC toyour PC. Graphical Weight and Balance calculations are easy
with pre-definedaircraft models. WingX knows about Piper Warriors, Cessna
172s, Sundowners, Schweizers, and more. Route Planning uses the current
FAA database for airports and VORs. Go to http://www.hiltonsoftware.com and download WingX.
We're hoping you will like it and register with Hilton Software. Thank you, Hilton Hilton Software LLC http://www.hiltonsoftware.com
