Call it SPAM if you want... thought you might be interested... as close
to free as I can make it.


For new lurkers to r.a.p., how about you introduce yourself and your
product?

For folks who have been around a while, what's up? You went away, now you're
back.

Is it the same software? What's changed? Will you be at OSH?

Good to hear from you again.

Hi Montblack. Yes its the same software. I wanted a way to be able
to keep providing at least USA data to my long-time customers, so I
managed to find a lower cost website where I could post the data. I
am subsidizing the site by selling $10 licenses for the software, but
the database will always be free to update.

The flight planning software market is so saturated with both free and
$100+ products that I really couldn't afford to sink too much time or
money into promoting my product. By making it a shareware low cost
for registration planner, I expect that I can at least keep it out in
the world and allow those who bought it over the past 10 years to keep
using it with current nav data. Unfortunately, folks outside the USA
won't get new data because the DAFIF is not available anymore...

I may be at Osh this year, but not to promote this software. I can't
afford a booth for that purpose. I am doing some other things
aviation related that I may go to Osh this year to help promote.

I also have been doing some avionics design under contract for a
company that makes an EFIS system, which has been keeping me busy.

If I go to Osh this year, I'll see if I can make your party. Its a
long way from the main campground out to where you guys hang out, and
I usually like to take in the Theater in the Woods or aviation movies
at night.
