Re: Getting UCAC4 to show up in Guide

Sorted at last !

With a bit of help from Owen I realised that the file sizes of the Z001 to Z900 files that I downloaded from the Harvard server were actually smaller than those on the DVD - no idea why ? Downloading from a totally different server the files are seemingly now the correct size and low and behold all is now working.
