Thanks Bill.
I did search the guide-user archives, and was only turning up posts
with questions about getting A2.0 to work on a hard drive after
copying catalog files from CD-ROMs to a directory or drive.
Is that how most folks are using A2.0 with Charon? Is it possible to
download the .cat from the USNO ftp server, and then persuade Charon
to read these files? Again, I apologize if this is an old question,
but I'm not finding any references at the Project Pluto website or in
the guide-user archives... but that wouldn't be the first time that I
missed something.
