Problems and Questions

This program was created by Bryan Litz which is why it looks similiar to the program that comes with his book.

Any questions and reports of failure to work need to go to Bryan directly at bryan.litz@bergerbullets.com or can be posted here.

We want this program to be available for everyone so it is important that Bryan receives your feedback.

Regards,
Eric

Not on mine either. The Litz Java program works. edit:

It works now, in case someone else have probs running the software, try to update your Sun Java Environment.

So it doesn't work on Java 5, perhaps. I don't want Java 6 on my machine if I can help it.

Edit: I installed Java 6 and now it works! Callooh! Callay!

Works on mine using WinXP, SP-3.
Thank you .

For a quick reference I think this is great.

I like using JBM for my print outs because of the extra options to mix imperial and metric where you need them.

ie. Ups, downs, and windages in MOA and inches while having the yardages in M's rather than Yrds...etc.

I think I will load it onto my Windows based phone and see if works on there. Never know where one will be when needing to configure a dropchart.
