Hi Kevin,

I don't understand why this works on your computer, but not mine. I use
Win98SE. As a test, I installed the original Guide8 CD1 on a friends Win95
computer. (_Only_ temporarily for testing, Bill!) I then extracted the
current update in the Guide8 directory. I now had the October 2 version,
and took the minimum "install to hard drive" option. Results were the same
on my friend's computer: Goto|Star|Common name... works with CD1 in the
drive, does not work without CD1 in the drive.

This the same procedure I used in 3 fresh installs earlier this week. I
hoped it was just an install glitch, but apparently not.

When working with historical eclipse observations, I like to keep a Rand
McNally atlas in one CD drive and Encyclopedia Britannica in the other.
Fortunately, I can use Goto|Object and type in the star's name. This is a
nuisance, but better than constantly swapping CDs.

Larry
