Not seriously. However, the main reason for that is the complexity of the 
files they'll need to handle. Realistically, the programs need to be 
written in something like C or Java - and Java has fewer portability 
issues for what I want to do.

I've written a set of Java classes to read an IGC log into an ordered 
list (its contents are timestamped records) and allow the records to be 
accessed both randomly and in sequence: this amounts to just under 1486 
lines of code, of which 744 lines (estimated by counting lines with any 
of the characters ;{} in them). In addition it will need to deal with 
waypoint, multi-layer map and airspace files to paint the scene where the 
log is to be displayed. The map and airspace files are quite a lot more 
more complex than the IGC log. The other possible application is simpler: 
it only has to deal with a similarly complex map file together with 
either a realtime GPS feed or a simpler log file format.
