(Corrected version of README, see annotations at the end!)


This file contains a brief description of ICAO Version 0.70b 
for NeXTSTEP, which has been released in April 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 "worldpart", 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 data.

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 0.70b (the 'b' still meaning beta) is the second 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.0.7b.s.tar.gz:
  This is the source code Version of ICAO for NeXTSTEP. It contains
  nearly everything you need (you`ll also need flex) to successfully

  Feel free to use this version and enhance the program, but be aware,
  that a *complete* new version is in the making.
