This file contains a brief description of ICAO Version 0.60b
for NeXTSTEP, which has been released in January 1994.
It is the NeXTSTEP Version of the well known ICAO for X11/Motif.
ICAO is an interactive program running under NeXTSTEP. Its
input is a so called "icaomap file", which is an ASCII file
containing descriptions of objects such as airports, roads,
towns, radio beacons and the like. ICAO will use either
Lambert or Mercator projection to generate a map from this
icaomap file.
ICAO allows you to interactively work with the map on the
screen, i.e. scroll it, use a rubber line to measure distances
and tracks etc. Additional features are available for both
motorized flights and soaring.
Version 0.60b (the 'b' meaning beta) is the first version
that is released. Though ICAO is copyrighted software,
it may be copied and used free of charge. See the
licencing information in the ICAO manual that is distributed
with ICAO.

ICAO.0.6b.N.bd.compressed:
ICAO.0.6b.NI.bd.compressed:
These are compressed executables for NSfIP(=I), black hardware(=N)
and both(=NI). They contain a binary(=b) and some data(=d) for ICAO.
This is an icaomapfile of Germany and a manual.
* ICAO.0.6b.s.compressed:
This is the source code Version of ICAO for NeXTSTEP. It contains
everything you need to successfully compile and run ICAO. Feel free
to use this Version and enhance the program.
ICAO is available at the following sites:

ANNOTATIONS
******************************************************
There is a bug in the PrefController class as well as
in the Preferences nib file.
If you click the Set... button in the Preferences
panel, ICAO.app will crash. You can avoid this by
typing in a shell (Terminal.app New Shell):
dwrite Icao "Default Mapfile" "/foo.imf"
It doesn't matter if or if not /foo.imf exists.
This is just a workaround. Now the steps described
in the manual should work!
If you want to compile ICAO.app, you need GNU's flex.
The NeXT lex will not work with ICAO's scanner.l file.
