Where does the SN10 airports data originate? (All turnpoints?)

Tuno, SN10 airport/turnpoint files can be made various ways, easiest
is via SeeYou (which converts any format it reads to the Ilec .ndb
format).

I updated my SN10 turnpoint files from the same data (that I got from
you) that I use to make my mSeeYou .cup turnpoint files.

There is a little utility that emulated the SN10 and allows checking
the .ndb file, and editing if required. Since it's just a text file,
that's pretty easy, anyway.

Adding airspace requires running a DOS (!) program to convert .SUA
airspace, then cutting and pasting into the .ndb file.

Not hard, kinda fun on a rainy winter evening.....
