Hi Bill, all,

Speaking as someone having used Guide since version 1 and never really tried anything else beyond a quick glance: A more modern user interface starting with new menu organisation, dialogs and look-and-feel. Too much VGA and DOS legacy stuff here, methinks. (You didn't say the suggestion should be easy to implement :D )

One other thing I sometimes think about is a click-and-point tool to make TDFs. It could well be a stand-alone program allowing one to load a data file into the 'TDF-editor' and defining what each column of data is.

One smaller suggestion: A better Goto RA & decl. with the same kind of intelligence as the general time setting function. I'd like to copy/paste a combination of RA & delc into an edit box it and it figures it out. (The current one is very picky about the format and you have two separete edit boxes.)

Kind regards,
Jari
