Many thanks, Bill,

Now, with the new line in Guide.dat concerning Vizier, downloading B1.0 runs perfectly on my PC.

Hi folks,

Just did a bit more checking, and realized why I'm not running into
a problem. There are several VizieR servers (used by Guide to get
UCAC-2, 2MASS, and B1.0 data, and soon to get CMC-14 data). By
default, Guide uses the UK server. That one appears to be having some
issues.

It _may_ work to edit 'guide.dat' and add this line:

VIZIER=http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR

But it still looks as if I'll have to get an update posted quickly.

BTW Josch, I should have been clearer about the "find A2.0 star"
feature: it's a new one, not available in the version currently on the
Web site. I didn't actually write the code to do it until you happened
to mention it; then I realized Guide really ought to have that feature,
and added it. The "find A2.0 star" feature (plus one for "find UCAC-2
star") will be part of the update.
