Hi Bill..
 
I think I might have solved the lunar eclipse table 'bug'...
 
I have everything installed on the hard drive.   As mentioned before, I went back and reinstalled prior updates and tried each time... the bug still there regardless of which update....
 
So, moved everything in the Guide7 folder to another temp folder and started fresh and reinstalled from the CD Nov98.   All works ok  at this point.  
 
Then started comparing file by file in the two folders  to see what was different.   It seems that when I d/l and installed the LUNECLIP.zip files is where the problem may be related.    My current Jan2001 update has the bug and the luneclip files are in that directory. 
 
Took the four files out of the directory and the table works normal.   No problem...
 
To confirm,   I installed the luneclip files in the folder with the original reinstalled nov 98 version and same problem shows up.   blank eclipse table.    Take those four file back out of the folder and all is ok in the original program.  
 
I tried calling up the lunar eclipse table  before and after running the DOS luneclip program.  Running the LUNECLIP DOS  program did not seem to have any effect on viewing the table.  
 
So to summarize.... removed the four luneclip files from the Guide7 folder and all is ok.  
 
Hope this may shed some light on the problem.
