Wouldn't it be more appropriate to provide a standard for station numbers that can be generalized beyond the VA?. I had hoped that world vista's open forum might serve that function. Maybe the station number needs to be modified (with a alpha prefix perhaps) to identify the side as VA vs Private

Isn't this one of the reasons GT.M was kind enough to release the source code, to allow the _community_ to produce changes/improvements/additions? Except for the very core functions that are not open-source, I believe we have the technology.  We can rebuild it.      ;-)   On Oct 6, 2005, at 11:27
