It is probably overloaded right at the moment as I sent that message
to a bunch of people. You could try later. I just tried it again and
I had problems too. That is the correct URL.

Dave, I believe Paul is correct about the overload.  I immediately went to
it and downloaded Free Flight.  It is a large file, approx 35 MB and even
with a cable eithernet? hook up capable of downloading at 80kb/sec it took a
few minutes.  I suspect it wouldn't take many downloads to tie up the site.

   By the way initial look at Free Flight 3D feature is interesting.  Now if
I could get it working on a Palm type device, it would really be neat.

Good luck Ed. Those three D topo data bases are huge! :-)
It requires a CD drive to get different parts of the country into
the computer. Actully Brent Regan/North Star device comes close to
a palm top in size. It has a built in CD reader. It is a very 
compact full blown PC. Expensive!!
