John, I just returned home after a very long day.  I'll see what I can 
do about generating a file.

it takes me about an hour to do what you see as a single file -- because 
I have to run all the passes in real time.  Each pass takes about ten 
minutes to calculate, and if there are six passes, that's an hour.

I highly suggest you look at my web page, as that's the first thing I 
update.

I still have to generate pass info for Lanai, so it will be a while for 
the Big Island.

What kind of PC system are you using?

Also, you can run other programs, if you're totally Windows-based that 
might do the same work in real-time.  I don't have a Windows favorite, 
as I found STSPLUS to be vastly superior and accurate -- which it just 
happens to be running MS-DOS.
