I have e-mailed Revision 2.0 of the navigation program to everyone who was on my mailing list. If anyone didn't get it, or wishes to be added to the mailing list drop me a note in the mail. The changes made to the program are listed below. In addition, there is now a working Turbo Pascal version. I will e-mail this to anyone who is interested. It works exactly like the C version, and uses the same database files. Aviation Navigation Program and Database Revision 2.0 Jan. 1, 1986 Revision 2.0 of the Navigation program contains many changes. The source code has been cleaned up and commented; the source will now compile on the IBM PC series of machines using the Mark Williams C86 compiler; a Turbo Pascal source is available; the program now properly computes flight plans that use mixed vortacs and vors or intersections; a new output format that closely resembles the Jeppeson Navigation Log is the default output; the program uses considerably less memory as the database files are scanned rather than stored in memory; the default location for the database and usage files is in the user's home directory in "/nav" - this can be modified by setting an environment variable called "NAV" to any desired fully qualified path name; altitudes can be entered as hundreds of feet - for example "-alt 45" indicates an altitude of 4500 feet; altitudes greater than 18000 feet will be displayed as "FL180" in the flight guide; finally, the program will display distance and radial of the two nearest Vors for the origin and destination ariports.
