HYPACK Inc. announced at the end of February that after several months of testing the latest version of its hydrographic survey software HYPACK 2011 it is still working on several bugs in the system. Pat Sanders president of Hypack Inc. issued the following statement on February 25:We have discovered an intermittent bug in the HYPACK 2011 release that has caused us to delay its distribution.
