|> 
|> - 3-digit longitude data is now read correctly by the scanner

|>   special characters and names that begin with a digit.
|> 
|> - islands and political borders can be displayed and are
|>   introduced for the German world file

|> Version 0.7 does not have too many improvements over 0.6b.
|> Yet, as many people start to collect data in world files

|> coastlines/borders.

|> Please not that many of the changes announced in the
|> manual for the next release have not been dealt with.
|> The design of ICAO Map 1.0 is currently beginning,
|> resulting in a complete rewrite that should make it
|> easier to add new functions to the application.
|> Also, there is no update of the manual so far because
|> there are no significant changes noticable for the
