LX 9000 or CNII?

Martin,

If you're a fortunate soul who "gets" Linux, then I'm sure GPLIGC is a good thing for you. Most people I know just get overwhelmed by all of the jargon and seek the simplicity of Windows. GPLIGC does have a Windows version, but at a minimum one needs to load PERL. That's a show stopper for me...

Well, I did say "as long as you have" SeeYou.

Why would any cross-country glider pilot not have SeeYou?

Don't need it - I've got GPLIGC.

I've been a Linux user since 1998 and using UNIX and similar systems
since 1984, so I do that stuff without thinking about it. I don't
remember whether I've used Perl under Windows or not.

GPLIGC by and large 'just works', though its interface and command set
aren't exactly intuitive and I'll admit raising a few feature requests
against it, but it will keep me happy for the coming season and its price
is certainly right!
