Has this been resolved?

I have the same symptoms: Guide recognizes UCAC2 and A2, but I have
not been successful getting guide to recognize B1. I have tried
various path statements; the current one (that does not work is):

B1_PATH=F:\USNOB

F:\USNOB contains the 180 directories of USNOB. This works
moderately well with TheSky (a lot of stars).

The Guide8 directory contains usno_b1.idf and usno_b1.tdf dated April
and May 2006.
