>Hi folks,
>
> I've just posted a new GUIDE8.ZIP, again about 460 KBytes, at
>
>http://www.projectpluto.com/guide8.zip
>
> with the following small changes:
>
> Jari Suomela pointed out that if you install everything to the hard
>drive, some of the comments for GSC stars don't get shown unless the
>CD is in the hard drive. Rafael Barbera pointed out that in the same
>circumstances, WDS-2001 comments don't show up. As with other "it
>only works with the CD in the drive" problems, the trouble was that
>files didn't get copied over. The update repairs both errors. But
>to persuade Guide to copy those files, you'll have to go into "Extras",
>"Install to Hard Drive", and toggle something. You can toggle it
>back later, but Guide won't even attempt to install anything unless
>it's persuaded that something has changed.
>
> This WDS problem is not the same one that Pat Anway found a few
>days back. I'd repaired that error, which involved an errant
>backslash in my code. (One of the early probes to Venus supposedly
>was lost due to a misplaced semicolon in the code... at least this
>misplaced byte was not so disastrous.)
>
> Julian Parks and Sam Herchak ("independent co-discoverers") pointed
>out that the side RA/dec labels always appear on the left and bottom
>margins on-screen, no matter how you set check-boxes in "Settings...
>Margins Menu". I vaguely remember that, when I added this feature
>a few years ago, I had a really good reason for making it work only
>on printouts. But I no longer remember that reason, so I modified
>the code so that the check-boxes adjust side labels both on the screen
>and on printouts.
>
> Incidentally, this file _should_ still work with a Guide 7 CD;
>you just won't get assorted features that require the Guide 8 disks.
>Be aware that my focus has been on getting this to work with Guide 8,
>and it's possible that some things no longer function when used with
>a Guide 7 disk.
