Hi folks,

I've gotten an inquiry via private e-mail about the new "download
UCAC-2 data" function, provided in the test version at

http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm

Seems that on at least one system, the other star catalogs are
downloading just fine. But UCAC-2 downloads aren't working.

I'd appreciate feedback, yea or nay, on this problem. So far,
I know that it works on my system, and not on the computer of the
gent who asked about this. I've checked the usual suspects (missing
or outdated files) without success.

If you find that it fails on your system, too, I'd advise
downloading this file:

http://www.projectpluto.com/gsc22.exe (about 13 KBytes)

to your Guide folder, and then try getting star catalog data
via Internet again. It will probably _still_ fail, but it will write
out some information about what went wrong (I hope!) to the file
'debug.txt'. Please e-mail me that file, and maybe I'll be able
to puzzle this out.

Aside from this, I know of one other problem in the update:
Quick Info will cause a lockup when Guide's date is set to about
one month in 22 or so. I've fixed this, and will post an updated
beta version... but I'd like to include a fix for this UCAC-2
issue, too.

Thanks! -- Bill
