Wow, it was for FS5, won't work for FS98 even... Apart from Ebay,
maybe check some of the abandonware web site, they might have it for
download.

All the best!

Wow... memories...
BAO Flightshop is an antique, may even be collectable. I hope so, I have a
complete copy.
You could make aircraft and airports with it. It was breakthrough stuff.
In fact I'll go as far as saying it was the father of the add on industry.
It's introduction allowed users to produce the first add on freeware
aircraft and within months the freeware aircraft industry was born on
CompuServe and AOL.
We owe that piece of software our eternal gratitude.
In answer to your question, no... BAO (the Bruce Artwick Organization) is a
long dead organization and Flightshop is not compatible with anything
produced in this millennium.

Oh I hope so, I've also got the original package in front of me. Could be
worth....... um.........
Old hardware might be an interesting collectable but software!?! there's an
interesting concept.
Also interesting is that in1995 BAO FlightShop was "The Tools You Need To
Fulfil the Flight Experience You've Been Waiting For". Seems to me that the
only thing that truly flies is time <VBG>
Smooth skies,
Paul
Note to self - you've realy got to clean out some of this old junk you're
hanging on to.

| Hi Varmit,
Hey, mate, I'd be willing to trade that copy of BAO Flightshop for a
good Rolex I have, or, strewth, even two good Rolexes ( if you're the type
of guy that drives a really hard bargain).
Just let me know how we can best sort out the minor details of the
transaction, and before you can say "Bob's your Uncle", you'll finally,
reliably, know what time of day it is!
No, you're welcome - anything to help out a mate.
Regards in anticipation,
John Ward
