Hey John

The help menu does have some notes and how-to information to get you
started(If you downloaded everything just this week). This program is
new enough that there is not a large library of examples yet. Two
examples are in the zip file itself including the Voyager which just
has a guess at how it is really tuned.

If you have any specific questions or suggestions for features let me
know.

My suggestion to anyone that wants to play with BoomSmith is to start
with a picture of your favorite boomerang. Trace it in the program
and make the foils match your boom the best you can. Then post the
models on this site for all to discuss.

Thanks for your support John!!!
