Hi Paul,

The issue was one of validating a file previously downloaded.

While Strepla may be able to do this, it's not much help to a third
party (such as competition organisers etc.) if they have to go and

buy a
copy. Asking the pilot to supply a copy would involve copyright

theft,
so is not an answer.



I want to thank Tim for several offline communications helping to work
around this problem. However, it has raised another question - do
Strepla and SeeYou currently have the source code for the VALI
(checksum) algorithms used by the manufacturers? Or, to put it another
way, if I download from the logger using application a (e.g. Cambridge
download utility) which creates the G-Record, can I then Validate using
another third party's application? Obviously, that would be the goal
of supplying the DLLs, but I'm not clear on whether that is currently
the case...
