Hi,

I have suggestions for NetBridgeVu, BridgeVu and Handviewer.

NBV and BV are very old program and have not been updated for many years by BBO, 9-11 years. But they are still working and used (with some restrictions) under Windows 10/11 by many users. They are the only alternative for users that don’t have the possibility to use HandViewer, which requires LIN files packed in a XML packages and stored on a server to get access to file.

As the update is frozen for NBV and BV, it makes it impossible to fix issues and add new functionality!!

I have three alternative proposals to improve the situation:

1) BBO start up to support update of NBV and BV.

2) BBO release the source code for NBV and BV with an Open-Source license, which makes is possible for programmers to fix issues and add new functionality. Maybe this also will give input for further improvement of Handviewer

3) BBO design a stand-alone version of HandViewer. Probably the best solution. Then BridgeVu and NetBridgeVu can be buried forever.

With hope for an answer and some action from BBO in this matter.

Best
