Bill,
the gsc22.zip still appears to have the programs from the 21st June in it
and barnard.zip, the updated positions for the Barnard dark nebulae does
not appear to exist. I am having problems with any Barnard dark nebulae
after this update where it says not a valid object when you enter any
number into the GOTO screen.

Other updates appear to be OK.
