Hi Stan,

Looks as if I got caught by a LONEOS format change: a byte was
removed from in front of the declination, causing everything afterward to
get more or less mangled. If you download

http://www.projectpluto.com/cd_data3.tdf

you ought to be back in the saddle. Thanks for pointing this one out.
It'll also be part of the next update (and by then, I'll also have the
files for languages other than English fixed as well... the above will
ensure that the LONEOS data displays correctly in all languages; but
"more info", and data gathered when you right-click on a LONEOS star,
will still be misaligned for the nonce.)
