The DR comment was not meant in any way to flame Dan Hogan or any one else
that prepare the Silicon Sea problems. He does a great job, and I for one
have learned a lot about navigation via of this list and his efforts and the
efforts of others who work on these problems.
At first I started to send the comments only to Dan, but it had been so
long since we did a Silicon Sea I had to go over the terminology of my
Celesticomp V programs inputs. My real comment is about the program written
for computer and calculator for navigation. To input data one must know the
way the person who wrote the program define the terms for input.
I agree with Mike Wescott - mike.wescott@XXX.XXX doing the work
on a boat for yourself you know what you want. Now it may be a different
situation if the Captain ask you to compute a plan a leg, do a DR, plot a
course etc. The navigator would may have to defend his work and explain
with definition of terms.
Still...............
Learning the Hard Way!!
