Uh, how long? This is their first full season AFAIK and I used it for
much of the season. Rich Cassano introduced me to CE and I think a
couple of other folks here use it, too.

Cap'n was basically a database tool (started with FoxPro, way back when)
and the architecture is showing serious signs of aging. VNS is newer
but has too much chrome on it and is priced accordingly. And there's
that issue of the ENC charts... Rose Point also offers value-added
charts, which is fine, but for folks who want free charts and a program
with some sophistication, it's about as good a product as I've met.

Cheers,
