<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've used the GDAL library at MITRE for a number of years in a program I wrote to determine the coverage of aeronautical radio navigation aids and RADAR. I've just received permission to release this code as Free Softare and have uploaded it to SourceForge. The programs are called Beam and I-Beam, but they're listed under the keyword "raybeam" since the other two were already taken. Also, please understand this program has mostly been used by myself and only a few other individuals and that I'm the only one that has set it up. Therefore, please be patient with it. It has lots of dependancies and it still quite fragile to things not going as expected. However, I'm really hoping someone else here might be interested enough to not only check it out, but help improve it.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for checking it out in advance and thanks for GDAL. <BR>
<BR>
Note: it's stored under subversion, and I'm new to this, so hopefully you'll be able to check it out from the repository, if not, let me know and I'll try to fix it ASAP.<BR>
