All looks like a good idea ;=)) I guess the only thing is concerning 'closed' airports. Should they be in apt.dat at all? But if they are retained for 'historic', or other purposes, it would be good if they were all consistent... - It seems there are already some 16 with [X], but most are with a space after this, except UHP1 [X]Lenino The others are all like 3R3 [X] Austin Executive Airport XBEL [X] Bellows AFB ... etc ... - But 2 just have the word 'closed', no [X] EIGM Gormanston (closed) YLUT Laverton (Military - Closed) - One with both KAUX [X] CLOSED Robert Mueller Municipal - One with just X, no square braces, and closed VHXX X CLOSED Kai Tak As stated, would be nice if they were all similarly 'marked', if retained... Just my 2 cents ;=)) Regards, Geoff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
