Hi Bob,

Something finally occurred to me, which _might_ actually describe
the problem.

In your Guide folder, there will probably be a 'gcvs_cat.idx' file
of about 9600 bytes. Try removing this, and then run Guide.

The idea here is that when Guide needs GCVS data, it looks for
'gcvs_cat.dat', which you may have downloaded from VizieR. (If you
haven't done so, it goes through a copy from the DVD, and there's
no problem... except that the DVD was made a couple of years ago and
won't be up to date.)

Guide will also look for an index file, 'gcvs_cat.idx'. If it
doesn't find one, it generates it.

In theory, if you later update your 'gcvs_cat.dat', Guide ought
to detect the mismatch between the new data and the old index; it
would delete the old index and build a new one. But if that _didn't_
happen, I think you might see the sort of issue you describe.
