EWR-LAX 10486 miles
Excellent utility ^
I have just stumbled onto your very cool product, however, my version shows EWR-LAX at 10486 miles, this cannot be right. Also yyz-lax 9532 miles.
I have just downloaded ver 1.39, Nov 12 2004. Is this the latest version???

globalFF thanks for the hint I had the same problem having installed the program on a german computer (also have , and . switched the other way around here). Just so that others that have the same problem know how to solve it:
Open the ARPT.dat file with a text-editor (I used Word2003) and select the "Replace with" function and then set it to replace all "." with ",". That solved the problem for me.
Alternative:
In the contron panel under Windows XP you can change what formats windows uses, if you change this to English(USA) this will work, too. (Note: This will change all the formats on your computer, including dates, times, and this punctuation stuff)

Since this is unrelated to a MR deal, I am moving this to the discussion forum.

PS. (mod hat off) This tool rocks! It makes its way onto any new computer I have, and is what I always turn to to calculate mileage and cpm.

Bump for Mac OS
I used to love using this tool on my Windows box, but I made switch to the Mac world about 10 months ago, and I miss my flying fish! Add me to the list of people who would love a Mac OS version.
