Bill,
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm having the problem I
previously described when using Guide (under Win98SE) on a second
computer, which is linked by a null-modem cable to the DOS computer
running scope.exe. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get
Guide to automatically follow the scope's coordinates (as generated
by scope.exe, which SkyMap Pro will do.
