Hi Larry,

Looks as if you solved the 'where is it' issue. MoonView does work,
in its own user-abusive fashion, and hasn't been renamed. It's just
been very much on the back burner. I'd rather like to tackle it;
there's a heck of a lot of nice lunar imagery available from the Apollo
and Lunar Orbiter and even Ranger missions, and MoonView could
conceivably do a good job of making it all available (i.e., "I need
images of this point on the moon", and you get a list of what's been
done and at what scale/illumination it is.) But time, as always, is
an issue. MoonView is probably a good candidate for conversion to an
open source project.
