I'm pretty sure the program exists.

I think I saw the output from it when I was at the NATS
in 2007.

I believe the program was written by someone in coordination
with Dave Guerin, the NATS director.

He's the man to talk to.

It was a beautiful program.  Someone sat at the terminal
and entered the maneuvers as each one was picked.  A printout
was available within seconds of finishing the schedule.

I think I remember Dave saying how much he valued the program.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
