Hello all,

This update mostly adds a Smiths style FMS and a Boeing 737-500 style Navigation Display.
3 new Gauges.

We could use 2 or 3 more Beta testers. If you're interested drop me an email at
'alstoer1@compuserve.com'
Note: 'No promises' on Beta selections.
Note: I'll be spending some time on the Trimble 2101 GPS mentioned earlier during the Beta period. But it'd be a real stretch if that got included in this update, but we'll try.
Regards.
Ernie.
