Hi fellow hams,

having started with Realbasic v2.1.1 I missed external project files 
for library programming purposes. However, with its latest v4.0.2 
this feature is now available and I am now more or less fully 
satisfied with Realbasic. Although I love C all my software projects 
are Realbasic projects now. From my point of view, Realbasic is 
definitely a great tool for mac programmers.

I personally do not blame the development tool if its users do not 
provide high quality software. For the same reason I do not blame BMW 
for their customers' driving style.

After two years of development I wish to publish my ham software 
project in the near future. It supports radio propagation studies 
(e.g. Sporadic-E, FAI, Aurora, multiple-skip propagation, TEP) and 
allows the VHF radio amateur to analyse dx-events and bandopenings. 
If you remember the ancient QTH_LOC and AURORA program for the Atari 
ST, you already know how the new 'BeamFinder' program will look like.

I will drop a note in this newsgroup as soon as BeamFinder is 
available for download.
