What is ICAO Map?
-----------------
ICAO Map is an interactive program running under X11/Motif. Its
input is a so called "world file", which is an ASCII file
containing descriptions of objects such as airports, roads,
towns, radio beacons and the like. ICAO Map will use either
Lambert or Mercator projection to generate a map from this
world file, either on your screen or as PostScript output.

ICAO Map 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 1.0 is the most recent version
that has been released. Though ICAO Map is copyrighted software,
it may be copied and used free of charge. See the
licencing information in the ICAO Map manual.

ICAO Map has been reported to compile (with minor
changes in some cases) on Linux,
Ultrix, SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX and on SGI systems.
