uday Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 We'll have to wait until Fred returns [4 days] . My guess is that you won't be able to disable the creation of the LIN file, but we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 This really shouldn't be too big of a problem for you. It is true that the software creates a new lin file... it leaves a copy of the old file. For instance, assume you have a file called.... OKB03.PBN If you open this file with NetBridgevu (BBO program) it will create a new file named.... OKB03.LIN But on your computer (in teh same directory), you will now have both files....OKB03.PBNOKB03.LIN Simply use windows explorer and delete the obk03.lin file...your PBN file is still there in its native format. But be careful, they will both have the icon for BridgeVu so they "look" the same, be sure to use detail view so you can see the file extension to be sure you delete the LIN if you want to keep the PBN formated one.

ang Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Thanks for the feedback.I agree it's not a big problem as I can delete the unwanted files, butI had hoped it was an optional facility that could be turned off. ang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I onlyrecently turned it on (so that people have a way toconvert from .pbn to .lin). Sorry about the inconvenience, but I doubt I will beadding an option here.
