Hi Bill,

Now, it is to me to say "My apologies!". The constlin.exe program has obviously no bug, and moreover, it works like a charm.
The reason of my trouble was that you wrote in the explanation lines:
"A '1' in column 13 indicates that a line is drawn from the previous point. For example, the first few lines mean "starting from Gamma Andromeda, draw a line to Beta Andromeda, then to Delta...", continuing until we get to 51 And. Then the "pen is lifted"...."
One might understand: "and Guide knows that because the name of the star, 51, is written after and not before the name of the constellation, And, on the contrary of all the previous lines."
That was I did, writing "And alp", and I was wrong!
Nevertheless, thanks, Bill, for this new and much appreciated capability of Guide.

Bertrand

Hi Bertrand,

My apologies! The version I uploaded was compiled with the
OpenWatcom compiler, set to use a DOS extender. As Dario
found, there are ways around this. Still, it makes more
sense for me to post a Win32 version, and I have just done
this. If you download 'constlin.zip' again, and unZIP it,
the new constlin.exe ought to work without troubles.
