Hi Cousin Joe, The new version of Parloc is just a database update there have been no changes to the Parloc program since September 2009. Since my FT Analyzer can display parish boundary maps overlaid on a modern map I may enquire if he would licence the datafiles to display the parish centres for distance calcs. As it would be fairly easy to replicate his program if he is prepared to licence it on a modern system so that users can use modern maps in addition to the features it provides. NB. the parish map data available from the Ordnance Survey OpenData project is for civil parishes of England and Wales. I do hope to be able to licence the Visions of Britain datasets which would provide access to the first OS map series from the 1800s.

Thanks for the update Alexander. I hope you are successful. :-) :-) On 12/1/2013 4:15 AM, Alexander Bisset wrote: > The new version of Parloc is just a database update there have been no changes to the Parloc program since September 2009.
