When the site's working (don't know what today's problem is with the hosting machine) there should still be a downloadable version if you follow the links, but - be warned - it probably doesn't work with modern Windows systems. I produced the downloadable one after a lot of public pressure, but never really liked it. One problem was that I was constantly having to deal with installation problems and - of course - it's always chasing the latest version of Windows. That's not what I want to do in my (limited) free time. These days I don't have a machine running Windows in the house, so a new version is highly unlikely even if I wanted to - and I don't. Sorry! I'm still actively developing CanalPlan - you can see the way it's going at canalplan.eu (which is hosted on a different continent and is available as we speak) - but it's going to be as an entirely on-line application from now on. It always really has been spiritually.
