The problem is that every single one of the implementations was
sponsored by a company that has since gone out of business.  (Not
because their implementation was bad, rather the vagaries of the tech
market these days...)

ZSI looked promising to become the implementation "of choice," but
then Zolera went out of business.  SOAP.py is probably the best option
around, and the fact that it's not necessarily ideal is, well,
unfortunate, but nonetheless the case...

There are no "civil aviation for  dummies" books out there and most of
you would probably  be scared and spend a lot of  your time looking up
if there was one. :-) -- Jordan Hubbard in c.u.b.f.m
