To anyone using ( or trying to use ) a copy of the DoppSite or GoogleHunt DF
programs.... ( from Bob Simmons )

It seems Google Corporation's latest version of GoogleEarth ( V 6.1 ) has
some "bugs" that mess up the DF display plots which are generated with my
DoppSite and GoogleHunt DF programs.

The problem was noticed about a month ago, only a couple of people have
noticed and reported it to me... but I get 100 downloads per month of the
GoogleHunt program, so I figured I better address it.

-------------

Presently, the only solution seems to be using an installation of the
earlier version of GoogleEarth for the display. ( V 6.0 )

Google Corp doesn't make it easy to find the older version of the program,
but it is available on their website.

I have therefore created a new webpage describing how to find and get the
older version of GoogleEarth :

http://www.silcom.com/~pelican2/PicoDopp/DD_GE.html

I have also added some notation to the main website page, in the sections
describing the DoppSite and GoogleHunt programs, with a link to this new
page. 

The main PicoDopp website is here :

www.picodopp.com

That's it... sorry for any inconvenience. ( but it's not my fault.... )
