Hi Bill, sorry to hear you have discontinued Guide. I don't usually stop by Project Pluto often but just saw Guide9 'ordering' was discontinued 01-06-2015. What a Shock! I've been using Guide since the mid '90s. It has come a looong way since then and I still use my April-2003 Guide8 as my primary reference tool.
Is there any Guide9 DVD's still available for purchase? Crossing my fingers, and Best of Luck to you and your future projects...joe :)

Subject: [guide-user] Language 'stuck', version date, toolbar order
My thanks for the bug reports. The language issue turned out to be a simple one: a supposedly "unnecessary" piece of code, which I had removed, turned out to be necessary after all. The version date is also fixed now.
I also realized that the current GRS longitude file ('grs_lon.txt') wasn't part of the update.
Rudi, about the toolbar ordering: I see what you mean, if somebody has reorganized 'toolbar.dat' to put the buttons in a particular order, it would be nice if an update left them in that order. I think when I wrote the toolbar updating function, my idea was that I wanted to read in any new buttons, but leave existing buttons in whatever on/off state the user had chosen. I didn't even think about the ordering issue.
I'll give it a bit more thought; there may be a reasonably straightforward way to fix it.
Regarding the separators in 'toolbar.dat': if you avoid the use of tabs, and use "real" spaces, and an editor with fixed-width fonts, things should be lined up correctly. I will write up more of a description later... there is some documentation of the format at the bottom of 'toolbar.dat' itself, though.
