Obtaining Canalplan for your computer
Canalplan is currently available in the following formats
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.
