For me, personally, I don't run Winders, so any downloadable packages don't
help me. That's why I use DUATS... web-based so it works everywhere. Oh, and it's
"free" (for AOPA members). Me the cheap *******...

Just for the record, you don't need to be an AOPA member to get DUAT for free.

http://www.duats.com DynCorp DUAT
http://www.duat.com DTC DUAT

If you like telnet access: "telnet direct.duats.com". Easy to create a text log
of your DUAT session that you can edit, so it's easier to print selected parts
of the briefing to take with you.

http://www.enflight.com gives you some html post-formatting of the DUAT output
that I find useful. Actually I think this is what AOPA uses under-the-covers.

All are free.
