As is so often the case with these threads, the concept of ‘horses for courses’ appears to be lost. Whilst it is true that LIDO has a couple of useful features, it certainly comes with a hefty price tag and a non-trivial support overhead. Conversely, the Jeppesen Jetplanner option has a lot of good features and a considerably nicer user interface (as opposed to LIDO which is a human factors nightmare), and for a lot less cost.
As for f:wz, I would highly recommend a chat with Gulf Air (amongst others) since I doubt very much that they would be singing the virtues of this system . . .
