I pretty much stopped working on my APRS software because of the absolutely 
painful and nearly impossible chance to implement the features if you didn't 
stare at Bob's Basic implementation (which didn't become available in source 
form, until after I was near the end of the time I had to commit).

It's nice to have something that works, but it is nearly impossible to create 
something that works...

I'm still in the cheer camp for opentrak...
