My response is - why isn't it written to be platform-independent?
The use of a Mac is one's choice and I certainly respect that. I am willing to make reasonable accommodations in terms of compatibility (for example, an alternative keyboard shortcut was introduced to accommodate Mac users, who couldn't "right click").
Re-writing 15 000+ lines of code and taking a hit on decreased application performance from the use of "platform-independent" solutions? Sorry, but I would have to say no.
In any case, now that Apple had finally acknowledged the idiocy behind using a non-Intel processor architecture on consumer-grade machines, running a Win32 application on a modern Mac is easier than ever: http://kvs.unrealnetwork.com/Images/...elsDesktop.gif

Please tell me how I can do so without purchasing a copy of Windows for a significant price?
Or, to rephrase, in an Internet world, why a client at all?
Edited to say: I'm not trying to turn this personal against your business. I believe I've purchased 2 full subscriptions at the PLT level now, matter of fact. I'm just saying that pointing Mac users to a virtualization option may not get quite the warm response you expect. Many users would say if they wanted to run Windows, they'd have bought a Windows machine.

I think that this might be the wrong kind of forum for that .

Firstly, it's a performance issue -- no web-based solution will ever be as fast a well-written native [Win or Mac] application. Secondly, there are currently operational/technical constraints for making the Tool web-based.

Indeed, and I certainly appreciate your continued support of the project.

As you can see it is EQV.
But if you access via another Amadeus system you get this:
I was wondering if this could be something to work on in the future perhaps. KVS is giving me this as below:

But if you access via another Amadeus system you get this:
Which clearly shows B77E operating on Tuesday, Friday Saturday with the B77W operating on all other dates making it a daily service.
Is it just a case of different POS access points?
The current timetable engine does not 'break-up' flights if the only difference is the equipment type. This is done by the engine itself, so I have no control over this...
FYI
The Alaska award tool sometimes seems to do a superior job finding Skyteam bookings in the domestic US, in particular where AS/Horizon or DL/Skywest flights are required (in other words a big swath of the west coast). The AS tool also shows AA awards, and so it's really a nice supplement to both the ST and OW functions you have built into KVS. I know most people dont have AS accounts, but given how well it does building unconventional routes in the domestic US when the NW itool shows the same old 12:55am redeye, it is worth checking out.

Just a reminder that an absence alert, which has been posted on the KVS Tool's homepage for the last two weeks, will come into effect shortly.
However, please feel free to submit registration/upgrade requests at any time, as I will be responding to all accumulated requests/e-mails upon my return.
For Platinum-tier members, holding a valid registration as of 01 December 2007, access to the KVS Tool Online Companion will continue to be available throughout this entire period (regardless of the actual expiration date).
Shows available awards on most OneWorld carriers (QF/BA/AA/AY/IB/MA + EI)
QF FFP Membership Number and PIN are required to use this Method; instant online enrolment available at https://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/dyns/joinff
I noticed that LAN is not on your list. Since the QF website allows me to search for LAN awards, is this a typo or intentional? Thanks.
I am looking for award availability from SFO to EZE, using ORT: Skyteam Awards, yet all that shows me is availability on CO. I know there are flights to EZE on DL and AM too, but they are not coming up! Even when I use ATL-EZE as city pairs, only CO flights are showing up...
Hello. Is there someone that can help me with a technical issue in KVS' absence? I am getting the 12029 connection error. I reviewed the FAQs, and I deleted the program from my firewall programs, and when that didn't work, I disabled both the firewall and all of Norton 360--still getting the error message.
I did a search of this thread, and I wasn't able to find anything other than someone who got a new firewall! I prefer not to do that.
If more appropriate to PM then here that's fine. I appreciate anyone who is able to help. Thank you.

I was actually going to ask a similar question when I saw this.
From a developer standpoint, the answer is simple, branch the product while developing a core library/framework from which to work. C/C++/C# aren't that much different than ObjectiveC.
Though from the looks of it, you may have written KVS in Delphi.
Ever thought about using something that is truly cross-platform that doesn't suffer a performance hit (such as Python)?
How do I find out what the class codes are for QR? I thought the highest classes were always first, but the following doesnt seem to follow that principle:
This might suggest that F/P are first class, and C/J are business. But why more P than F spaces and more J than C spaces. Also what is the A and O? Too many First class codes?
