Re: [guide-user] Re: Guide 8 draws nigh

Remember all those little upgrades and enhancements and bug fixes that
happened between 98 and now.
I had to do a fresh install the other day and I had a look at the Guide 7 98
version before I installed the upgrade zip and it was a very different
program.

I remember the NexStar computer control upgrade, the information from
Celestron was sent to Bill and whammo it appeared in a zip a few weeks
later...

good stuff, I say...

regards

James

I noticed this the other day: the release years for the various versions
of Guide have been:

Guide ver 2: 1993
Guide ver 3: 1994?
Guide ver 4: 1995?
Guide ver 5: 1996
Guide ver 6: 1997
Guide ver 7: 1998
------------------
Guide ver 8: 2002

(I'm not certain about the release years of Guide ver 3 and 4 since I
skipped these versions, but one release per year fits the general
pattern)

But it took 4 years from Guide 7 to Guide 8. I guess we know hte
reason though: except being a complex upgrade, Bill was also busy
with other stuff, such as computing orbits for newly discovered
planetary satellites. And during that time he got an asteroid named
after himself.
