Hi John,
thanks a lot for your help.
Actually after your last post, and thanks to it, I discovered that, as
I use an Italian version, in the gsc22.idf there is any mention to the
cmc14.
So I removed that file from the GUIDE directory and now I see
perfectly the stars.
Now I can practice a little to change the cmc14.idf file in order to
see the stars also in the italian version.
Cheers, Stefano
