Using several computers
NavLog is a highly portable application which does not rely on the Windows Registry. It can be installed on the hard disk of a computer and/or on a memory stick and/or on an external disk drive.
* The directory C:/NavLog only contains two subdirectories : ./bin and ./SHIPS
* The program is installed in C:/NavLog/bin
* The data are installed in C:/NavLog/SHIPS
(in one subdirectory structure for each boat).
After installation and use, the entire directory structure C:/NavLog/ can be moved from a computer (on the ship) to another one (at home).
WARNING : If you modify Log Points on computer N°1, you MUST update the N°2 before modifying them on this one. Otherwise you will lose data!
