Hi Wilfried,

Looks as if the VizieR folks are having more server problems.
Try hitting Alt-J and entering this line:

VIZIER=http://vizier.cfa.harvard.edu/viz-bin/VizieR

(alternatively, just edit 'guide.dat' in a text editor such
as Notepad, and add the above line). The Harvard server appears
to be working properly.

The first fix I tried was to switch to the Strasbourg server,
using

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

This allowed me to get A2.0 and GSC-2.3, but not B1.0 (the
file returned insists that there are no B1.0 stars in the area in
question). The default server (in the UK) is simply unavailable,
as you found.

A possibly useful tip: in my 'guide.dat', I have the following
lines:

VIZIER=http://vizier.cfa.harvard.edu/viz-bin/VizieR
FIZIER=http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR
JIZIER=http://vizier.nao.ac.jp/viz-bin/VizieR
UIZIER=http://apm20.ast.cam.ac.uk/viz-bin/VizieR
CIZIER=http://vizier.hia.nrc.ca/viz-bin/VizieR
IIZIER=http://vizier.iucaa.ernet.in/viz-bin/VizieR
HIZIER=http://www.ukirt.jach.hawaii.edu/viz-bin/VizieR
RIZIER=http://vizier.inasan.ru/viz-bin/VizieR
KIZIER=http://data.bao.ac.cn/viz-bin/VizieR

If I want to switch to, say, the Russian VizieR mirror, then
I change 'RIZIER' to 'VIZIER', and the first 'VIZIER' to something
like "AIZIER". Guide will only pay attention to the VIZIER line.
This works, but with all the VizieR-related troubles of late, I
may switch over to providing something wherein one can select a
VizieR mirror from a list.
