Hi Bill:

Jupiter L4, symbol shown and all OK, but click more info there's a
crash and the cursor shows the CPU working (instead of arrow it's a
little rotating circle).

M,V,M,S,U,N, L.13 planets shown and info displays data.

P, L 18, body shown and info displays data.

Jupiter would seem to be the culprit.

Does Startup.mar keep a record of all crashes or just the crash from
the last run of the program. I didn't know what Startup.mar was for.
I wonder if I may have used and exited Guide without a crash before
sending the file. If this is the case just give the word and I'll
resend the file.

Regards,

Richard
