It is not yet as mature as Sailcut4 but it will be there fast. As you are in South Africa you may be interested to know that you can select Dutch as a working language, that is the nearest to Afrikaans we could get.=20 To get the Windows version go to: http://sailcut.sourceforge.net follow the download link and on that page you will need to download first qt-mt230nc.zip=20 then Sailcut-0.7.0_win32.zip=20 Create a clean folder named Sailcut in your directory C:\Program Files for example and extract in this Sailcut folder all the files from the two zip above.=20 Open the folder C:\Program Files\Sailcut and launch the Sailcut.exe and enjoy.=20 A few tips: The help menu give you access to a user manual. Start with the View menu. View>Dimensions give you access to the screen to create new sails, put the correct data for the rig dimensions and the proper sheeting angle such that after you have made and saved a jib and a main sail you can use the View>Rig menu add these sails to it and look at the combination. As this is a new software bugs may exist, please tell us.=20 Finally: Register to the sourceforge sailcut-users list to get news http://sourceforge.net/projects/sailcut/=20 top of page > List =20 then Sailcut-users Archives > Subscribe=20 --=20 Regards / Amiti=E9s Robert Lain=E9 http://www.sailcut.com Free sail CAD http://sailcut.sourceforge.net GPL'd source code |
