Obtaining Canalplan for your computer

Canalplan is currently available in the following formats

• FreeCanalplan for Windows [95 to XP]
• Source and data files for building and porting Canalplan to other platforms

The following are under development

• Canalplan upgrade CD
  The upgrade package is a CD ROM that will be available to buy in the very near future. It converts an already installed free version to have the full functionality of the web version. Note that it is not a complete software package, it will not work unless the free version is already installed and working.
• Downloadable photograph sets
  Although the photographs will be included with the upgrade package, they are not part of the "paid use only" part of the package. They are excluded from the download to keep it to a manageable size; if included in the self-extracting executable they bulk it up to over 100Mb in size. I'm on a dial-up connection, and the server doesn't run windows so I can't generate it there, so uploading the whole package each time it changes is utterly impractical. Also, if lots of people started downloading such a huge package they would use up all the server bandwidth, stopping the actual planner from working.
  In the very near future I will create a small upgrade program to download the photographs in blocks and add them to a working stand-alone installation.
• FreeCanalplan for other platforms
  There are three platforms currently being considered for this; the Macintosh running OS-X, palmtops running Windows CE and palmtops running PalmOS. Which, if any, of these I do any work on is uncertain at the moment. But if you are interested in doing this yourself, and are technically competent, please grab the files listed above. I will give you all the help I can with the port.
