ICAO Map - An Aviation Utility (c) 1993 Martin Pauly This file contains a brief description of ICAO version 0.60b, which has been released in November 1993. ICAO is an interactive program running under X11/Motif. Its input is a so called "world file", which is an ASCII file containing descriptions of objects such as airports, roads, towns, radio beacons and the like. ICAO will use either Lambert or Mercator projection to generate a map from this world file, either on your screen or as PostScript output. ICAO allows you to interactively work with the map on the screen, i.e. scroll it, use a rubber line to measure distances and tracks etc. Additional features are available for both motorized flights and soaring. Version 0.60b (the 'b' meaning beta) is the first version that is released. Though ICAO is copyrighted software, it may be copied and used free of charge. See the licencing information in the ICAO manual that is distributed with ICAO. The following files have been uploaded to a number of FTP servers: * icao.README: You are currently reading this file. * icao.060b.DOC.ps.z: This is a gzipped PostScript file that tells you how to use ICAO and how the world file is organized. The man file (which is also included in this archive) contains the text of this document for those who can't print or display PostScript files. * icao.060b.SOURCE.tar.z: Right, this is the source code. It was compiled under Linux using gcc. An Imakefile will hopefully make it work on other systems as well. A world file covering parts of Germany is also included. * icao.060b.BIN.LINUX.tar.z: Contains two Linux binaries, one for those who have Motif installed on their system and one which includes the Motif libraries (static linking). Also contains a copy of the world file. I have hardly any experience on how easy it is to compile ICAO on non-Linux systems, so I appreciate any feedback from your side.
