IGC File Name Decoding Made Easy

Bet you the cost of a tow that they come out with a new igc "standard"
before 2015...

Hey, wait...I'm not going to bet a tow, that could be $100 or
more...based on the other postings.

Maybe IGC will require USB connections...as they get phased out for ???

FWIW, I'm still using a VolksLogger with DOS, having sought out an
"old" laptop that has a com port, and thrashed the computer into a dual
boot system (using System Commander software) so that I can use the
Garrecht "secure" DOS download software ("vali.exe"), then reboot to
WinXP and get useful information from the trace using SeeYou.

Those that know me know I do EVERYTHING the hard way (e.g., fly a
1-26).

Thanks for the decoder ring; it sure is nice to understand the
gibberish naming of the file, I think.

Two Years ago actually.

You must do. There is a Free Windows shell program and Volkslogger DLL
available from http://www.fai.org/gliding/gnss/freeware.asp
