Re: [guide-user] Last update to Guide

Bill Gray Apr 5, 2017

Hi Clay, all,

Thanks for the good thoughts!

I can't say that much has happened with the code behind Guide
over the last year. I have a couple of small bug fixes that I've
made, but that's about it. I'll see about getting that put together
and posted, but it won't be particularly major.

Much of my efforts have been going into other software, including
Find_Orb. Current source code for that is at

https://github.com/Bill-Gray/find_orb

and was last updated about 20 hours ago. (I've had a contract
to make improvements to it... Bob, I think there may be something a
bit older on the Web site; I'll track that down and remove it in
favor of the "current" stuff.) The focus with Find_Orb has been on
Linux,, but I did post a Windows update to Find_Orb a few days ago :
