OK Gerard, from your reports everything is working as it should. As I
explained, it is assumed that each carrier has a unique TACAN frequency.
Thus the code uses the first match it comes to. We've added a new
carrier_nav.dat file to cvs:

"add 'FNS Charles de Gaulle' to the database with TACAN channel 026X" 

You ought to be able to switch between the 2 using the channel selector in
the drop down menu. Check it out and let me know if it doesn't work for you.

You can only use nimitz-demo.xml because that’s hard coded - the software
can't guess which random file name contains carrier info. It used to be
called carrier-demo, and perhaps that's a better name for it. If you want 2
carriers (I've tried it and it works, sort of) add another <entry></entry
with all the data. Note: you will need to use <wire>wire-1a</wire> etc,
otherwise the code gets confused and marks no wires :-). I've asked Mathias
to add it to his TODO list. I'd like any feedback you have on this one too. 

Vivian
