Hi,

there are also some other bugs in connection with ASCOM.

Ending Guide8 does not end the driver task. You always have to kill the task
manually with task manager.

And there is another problem in Guide8 with right mouse click context info
if ASCOM driver is loaded. Guide8 hangs on object. Please read my message
#5968 from March 07, 2007.

The last update version did not clear this ASCOM problems.
