Version 1.0 is now available here:
flyingfish-100-setup.exe, 544KB
The website will be updated Thursday evening. So I suppose for the time being it's an FT exclusive. Heh.

I cleaned up the database and added all missing codes listed so far in this thread. I've also added a code lookup which allows you to enter a partial or full name of an airport and lookup (and optionally insert) the pertinent code. What I'm doing now is making the database get along easier with partial matches.
1.01 will incorporate all of these changes and will be out sometime this week.

Also I'm removing the masked edit box in favor of a plain old textbox. What this means is you will be able to enter multiple trips and/or open jaws. For example:
BWI-DTW-LAS,LAX-MSP-BWI
The downside is you'll have to enter dashes between city codes and commas between progressive flights, but I think this will add much flexibility to the program. I'll make it as user-friendly as possible.

Please see the first message in this thread; version 1.0.1 has been released. Some notes:
All missing codes / incorrect mileages reported in this thread thus far have been corrected, with the exception of PRG (Prague). This is a strange case and the coordinates are correct, yet the mileages are incorrect. I'm working on it.
No open jaw support yet, so don't go flying off the handle with those commas rather than spaces, but this is something I'm working on.
I am proud of the code lookup and insertion tool, appropriately named the Code-O-Matic™. Check it out.

1.0.2 is in the works and will be out in a couple days. There are some significant behind-the-scenes code reductions. Also it has come to my attention that some people need explicit instructions on flight routings, so I'll look to add some unobtrusive ones.

Greetings. Several changes were made to the program in the latest version, 1.0.2, including:
*Completely modular code design
*A smaller, tighter user interface
*Menu options (ie. File, Options, Help)
*An "Always On Top" checkbox function - useful for browsing and comparing fares and routings
*A rewritten great circle calculator
1.0.2 is an internal release and won't be made available - as I am already working on 1.0.3. That version will be available by the end of Saturday this weekend.

1.0.4 will be out tonight. This one actually has a real help file. Some other new features:
* Updated airport codes so now those pesky PRG and PSP codes work. Please keep the bug reports on codes coming in.
* Me Love You Long Time toggle mode (i.e. "Always On Top" window position): this will operate the program in front of all other windows. Easy toggle on/off.
* Expanded Menu Bar for easy navigation.
I'm working on the help file now. "Tonight" means before I go to bed, rather than 11:59 p.m. EST, so take that into account. I'll post as soon as 1.0.4 is out - you really want this one!
