Cool; I guess they're easier to keep up to date than I thought.

I may cancel my C tools in this case.

Yes, I could use a copy.  Also, if you could check them into a
CVS repository, either at gnome.org or sourceforge (I'll give you
access if you'll give me your sourceforge username), that would
be good.  I've added another field to the fplan(5) format, and
I'll want to tweak avdbtools accordingly.

How long does it take awk to process those datafiles?

Oh, I meant to ask, what does the twr.txt file contain?  I notice
you combine it with apt.txt to generate the airports.nav database.
