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
     * A.IDX through
       Z IDX:            The Navaid Database Files
     * AIRCRAFT.DAT:     The Aircraft Database File
     * ROUTENAV.DOC:     The ROUTENAV Manual
     * README.TXT:       This File

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

     Evaluation Version Restrictions:

     The evaluation version of the program is the same as the official
     version except:

     *    You may only access navaids from the default Flight Simulator
          (TM) Scenery.
     *    You may only save up to four routes
     *    You may not add or edit navaids



                                 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.
     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.
