Hi Bill

Yes, you were correct; I had changed the video mode. However, the only
one that works is the very low resolution one of 680xsomething pixels.
This is surely rather silly on a machine with 512Mb of RAM! Please can
we have a Windows updated version of Charon? We really need to leave
the 1985 version of DOS program behind us. I have got Charon
recognising 200 stars per image, but this is old software with few
benefits. I don't want to start submitting data to MPC using this
elderly program, even though it was sufficiently usable some years ago.
Please?

Lawrence
