E-timetable: Dumb Question
I downloaded the timetable and got it installed; it is really neat. Question: How to I get it to enlarge to fill my screen? There is no button in the upper right corner; the side/top won't drag to a larger size. I'm running Win98 on a 380Z thinkpad if that matters. Fyling I know; computers?????
Thanks
Thanks

Great question...I could find NO way to change the size of the window--not bigger or smaller. I have W95, on an HP desktop. I guess its a quirk of the timetable program!

I just downloaded it today. Is there any ability to see mileage between two cities using the timetable?

I do not believe you can (a) enlarge the window of the application or (b) use the app to find flight distances.
For a very close approximation on flight distances, I use WebFlyer's "MileMarker" at:
http://www.webflyer.com/milemarker/milemarker.htm
It is usually very close. For instance, it estimates SFO-BOS as 2700 miles, whereas United says it is 2704.
Hope this helps,

for official UA mileage (which by the way isnt always correct for UA flights and is almost never correct for codeshare flights) you still need to use their website or the good old printed timetable.
for those who may not have noticed the UA e table is the same as AA's e table and as such you cannot enlarge the window size. but at least they finally came out with one

AA, UA, and CO all have downloadable timetables that are all based on the same software, a company called Golden Ware designs it.
