In any event, if Pete were to open-source the thing, it would most likely fall under the LGPL.Don.
September 1, 200619 yr GREAT!!!I am very pleased to see an endemic solution in place of a 3rd party solution. I don't want to praise SimConnect too much sight unseen, and I also don't want to denigrate Pete's very superb contribution, but a SDK-based solution is warranted in this case.Can't wait!!!
