Ok, I just remembered butch2k's names from years ago.. He was a very informative and level heading logical guy from what I remember.. There was another guy with a name similar to his.. B something, maybe he was the guy writing the book?

By the way your name rings a bell too.. I seem to recall seeing your C++ stuff a few years back.. Very neat stuff! I have some of Henning Rush's stuff posted at my website.. i.e. www.flightsimtesting.com and would love to post some of yours too! What format is your output files? Simple text I assume? Could I get a copy?

I see you have 'experience' with Kurfurst too!
