I had no problems with getting UCAC4 working. You do need to have Guide 9. I keep all my astronomical catalogs in a separate folder because many of them are used by more than one application but you can put the UCAC4 folder anywhere you like.
I created a new, UCAC4 folder in my Astronomical Catalogs folder and copied both sided of the DVD into it. One side of the DVD has a U4b folder containing Zones 1-379. There are also a number of other folders on this side that are probably not needed but I copied them anyway. The remaining zones (380-910) are on the second side of the DVD in a U4b folder and will be copied into the U4b folder on your hard drive also. When you are done, your U4b folder should contain all of the zone files, Z001 - Z910.
Next, set the the tdf path to point to your UCAC4 folder. Mine looks like this: UCAC4_PATH=c:\Users\John\Documents\Astronomical Catalogs\UCAC4\u4b.
Finally, use Extras/Toggle user data sets to turn on UCAC4 and adjust it however you want it.
John

Hmmm... a few comments here:
Don't worry about the u4i folder. The only part of it Guide uses is the
file 'u4index.asc', and it doesn't even really need that. (If it's available,
UCAC4 will be displayed a little bit faster. I only notice the difference
when displaying UCAC4 straight from the DVD, something I doubt most people
will do, except maybe to test out UCAC4 use.)
In Extras... Toggle User Datasets (Otros datas de usuario), do you
see a "UCAC4" option? Is it turned on, with Shown At (Mostrar de) set
to, say, 0 to 5 degrees?
When you click on Help... About Guide, the last couple of lines should
give the version date ("estas ejecutando la version del...") What version
date do you see?
I have a feeling I'll be getting a lot of questions about UCAC4... I'm
thinking of ways to make it a little easier to use in Guide.
