                            ROUTENAV README.TXT


     The ROUTENAV.ZIP file should contain the following files:

     * ROUTENAV.EXE:     The Main Program
     * NAVIGATE.EXE:     The Flight Planning Module.  You cannot run this
                         alone.  It must be run from ROUTENAV
     * ADD_NAV.EXE:      Utility program for updating your airport database
                         without overwriting the changes already made.
     * A.IDX through
       Z IDX:            The Navaid Database Files
     * AIRCRAFT.DAT:     The Aircraft Database File
     * ROUTENAV.DOC:     The ROUTENAV Manual
     * ADD_NAV.TXT:      ADD_NAV Documentation
     * README.TXT:       This File

     NOTE:     ROUTENAV will create a file called SETUP.OVL when you configure
               the program.
                                 ROUTENAV Updates


VER 1.1

      *   Fixed the 0.0 fuel consumption problem.  When you entered a decimal
          point in the Fuel Consumption field when entering a new aircraft, the
          fuel for each leg of the flight plan came out as 0.0.

      *   Disabled the mouse on the subscreens where field input is required. 
          The program would crash if the mouse was used to select a field on a
          subscreen (IAS settings, Frequencies, etc.).

VER 1.2

      *      Added an "Airport Database Not Found" check.  If the
             directory for the database files specified in the SETUP
             menu was incorrect, or did not contain any database
             files, the program would crash.  ROUTENAV now displays
             "Airport Database Not Found" and asks you to check the
             setup directories.

      *      Fixed the program crash if an IDX file did not exist. 
             When the program searches the database, it searches each
             IDX file (A-Z) alphabetically.  The X.IDX file contains
             no airports, so the file length is 0.  If you tried to
             copy the *.idx files from one place to another from DOS,
             DOS would not copy the X.IDX file because it contained 0
             bytes.  Therefore, when ROUTENAV was searching the
             database, it would try to read the X.idx file, but would
             crash when it didn't find it.  The program now will
             create an IDX file if it finds the major files (M, N, R,
             S, T), but doesn't find the one it's looking for.

VER 2.0

      *      Fixed the program crash if you tried to find a navaid by
             name, but misspelled it, or the navaid didn't exist.

      *      Added the ADD_NAV utility program to update your current
             airport database without overwriting any changes you've 
             already made to the database.
             
VER 2.1             

      *     Fixed the problem when finding a searching for a navaid by name.
            If the navaid was not found, the program would delete all 
            information from the IDX file.

      *     Fixed another problem that occured when searching for a file by 
            name.  If the navaid was found, the program would select a random 
            navaid (usually garbage) instead of the navaid selected.

      *     Fixed the program crash that occured when trying to save a Route.  
            The program would cause a Runtime 004 error.

      *     Fixed the ADD_NAV.EXE program to update all of the new airports.

VER 2.2             

      *     Corrected the Ground Speed accuracy problem.

VER 2.3

      *   Added more detailed Altitude and Wind entry options.  Individual
          altitudes and wind aloft data may now be entered for each leg of the
          route.

      *   The Navaid database is now sorted by ID instead of by name.  This
          allows much faster search times when selecting the navaids by ID.

     
     INSTALLATON:   

     To install ROUTENAV, simply go to the directory you want to use as the
     ROUTENAV directory and UNZIP the ROUTENAV.ZIP file.  For example, if
     ROUTENAV.ZIP is on drive A: and you wanted ROUTENAV in C:\ROUTENAV,
     you would go to the C:\ROUTENAV directory and type PKUNZIP A:ROUTENAV
     (assuming PKUNZIP.EXE is in the path).  The ROUTENAV files will then
     be uncompressed in the C:\ROUTENAV directory.  Type ROUTENAV to run
     the program.  The first thing you should do when you run the program
     is select SETUP from the main screen to enter your preferences.  

     To run ROUTENAV, make sure you are in the directory containing
     ROUTENAV.EXE and type ROUTENAV and press the ENTER key.

     Refer to the ROUTENAV.DOC file for ROUTENAV operation.

     NOTE:     ROUTENAV is the result of many months work.  Any comments
               about problems with the program, or possible future
               enhancements are greatly appreciated.  I am not currently a
               private pilot, but I have been studying aviation for the
               past four years.  My hope, is that the proceeds from
               ROUTENAV will be enough to finally get my private ticket. 
               Thank you, in advance, for your registration.
