Yes. So I use Dance for so-long days. ( I used Dance last week
to find where 'Ceres' and 'Pallas' was found.)
Dance is very usefull software like Guide :-)

Bill regarded 'lists of events, such as occultations and conjunctions'.
Thank you, and I hope my request not stressing you, too.

I hope Prediction List do as:
(1) Make Prediction list.
(2) Click one of list to show.
(3) Guide sets date & time to its data, and NOT close Prediction LIst Box..
(4) Click other one to show next. Then Guide redraw again.

I read 'random.htm'.

I already added some cities in Japan for myself and for my friends in Japan.
Cities I added are big cities only. I hope to add cities more and more.
But it make Japan map crowded.
If I add many cities, Guide thins out to not crowded. But it has no LOI.
It make small town leave, important city hide.
I like big dataset, if it have LOI.
If Bill request me to make LOI to cities in Japan, I will help.
