Hi Bill:

Yes I realized that I had to answer "yes replace" to all the files to
get the upgrade. I mentioned the replacement aspect in reference to
my question about reversion to the previous state without starting
from scratch.

At level 7 centred on Jupiter, the planet is not a disc but is a
symbol. As soon as I go to level 8, I get the crash.

With Planets on and Jupiter centred as a symbol, I can then goto the
Moon with no crash.

With planets turned off the crash does not occur, event if I go to
level 10 and then a goto to Jupiter. When I do this goto there is no
change of field.

With planets on I can goto the moon at level 10 but the program
crashes if I go back to Jupiter. Are the planets treated differently
from Luna? With Planets on, I can go to Phobos and Deimos at L. 10,
but no planet is displayed (no surprise there).

I've sent Startup.mar to pluto@....

Regards,

Richard
