New 'in testing' update posted

Bill J Gray Jan 9, 2006

Hi folks,

A new 'in testing' update is now available at

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

You'll notice that no new features (relative to the November 'in
testing' version) have been added. But that version got me some bug
reports, such as the problem with styled lines in PostScript files,
problems in use of MPCORB caused by the new six-digit asteroid numbers,
aa problem in downloading USNO-B1.0 data (seems the format changed),
and a slew of others.

I _think_ this will work around the problem some people ran into
wherein Guide corrupted its own 'startup.mar' file and would then need
to be reinstalled.

If you use this, _please_ let me know of any bugs you encounter,
either on or off list! I think this is a remarkably stable version,
since I've devoted myself to bug fixes and have attempted to restrain my
usual desire to add more features. If I didn't get them all, I'd like
to know about it.

Thanks! -- Bill
