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. The GPS.DLL POSMV.DLL and F180.DLL sometimes fail to load the KTD file when computing real time RTK Tides.

We have corrected this error and are now re-printing the HYPACK 2011 Installation CD. We hope to begin shipping them o/a 8 March 2011. Read More
