 A strong argument for doing, as I do, the whole thing on computer, and filing
 a CD with the finished point plots.

 That's a fairly strong statement from a guy who only started to trust GPS
 within the past two years, but the first time I ran a radial with a computer,
 ( both, actually, in case the computer didn't work as well as others had said )
 I found the ease, accuracy, and general reduced paperwork, filing,
 and such to be WELL worth it !

What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not
make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes'
leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality
assurance people in its wake.
