[guide-user] Alternate USNO A2.0 Location

Anthony J. Kroes Jun 23, 2000

Hello All,

I am looking for a way to reconfigure Guide 7.0 to read my USNO A2.0 CD's
from where I have copied them to a spare hard-drive on my 'observatory'
computer. I figure the data will load faster and it will be much more
convienient than trying to swap CD's in the dark! However, I can't seem to
locate the 'location' setting for this. Guide insists on asking me to put a
specific CD in drive 'D:' (which is now my 2nd hard drive, not the CD ROM as
it was when guide was first installed). I've looked in the startup.mar file
where many other setting are, but did not see anything for A2.0, just a
setting for 'real CD' which didn't seem to change anything. I am sure I am
just looking at the wrong file as guide is so very customizable... Any
suggestions?
