I use the A2.0 on a seperate drive.

1. Make sure all files are in the same directory, not in folders or disk
labels.
2.change "Guide.dat" to show - A2_PATH=(mag);(drive:\directory name);(other
directory)
mag=mag to be displayed from A2.0(start to see them in program)
drive= which drive your files are store on.
directory name=the directory on the drive where the files are stored.
other directory=where else to look if files are not found in primary
directory.(use same format as primary)

Example: if you put all the files in drive "d" , folder "extrastars" and you
want the stars to display at 14.0 mag, you would write:

A2_PATH=14.0;d:\extrastars

Hope that help.

Denis
