Re: [guide-user] XZ80Q catalog

Oliver Kloes Feb 12, 2004

Hi Masaki,

I have tried the links
http://www.projectpluto.com/extras.htm#xz80q

http://www.lunar-occultations.com/iota/xz80q.htm
just a minute ago and it's working. You will get there on the document
"XZ80Q Release Notes" and at the end of this document you'll find another
link
http://www.lunar-occultations.com/iota/xz80q.zip
which starts the download of the zipped catalogue.
I used this zip-file for creating the TDF and Bill used this file for his
sorter.

I don't know, why the data from Strasbourg dosen't work with the sorter.
Have they changed something in the catalogue data? Maybe at the zip-file
above too?

Oliver
