An e-chart appears below. To clarify a point recently raised, once this circular has been saved to disk it is then possible to load it, having run the finders program, but inverted commas should not be placed around the file name. In the Editor's case the circular is stored in a directory called 'modem' with a file name called 'E553.WPS'. To load the circular at the finders prompt use: f\modem\e553.wps You should receive a response that there is one chart in the file which can be displayed using d1. It is NOT essential to edit the circular to extract the codes only. \\\\\\ NovaSgr91(b) chart S,120,20,S P,18h 50m 58s -32 13.4' (1950) O,60,60,7.0,[13 R,7.04,37,17,1 R,7.67,112,83,2 R,7.75,50,60,E R,8.27,81,60,F M,8,15,35 R,8.91,66,119,3 R,9.33,41,70,4 M,9,71,102,21,92,28,65,39,112 M,10,26,77,42,7,51,107,21,50,13,68,3,61 R,9.64,52,49,5 R,10.10,60,46,6,A M,10,56,47,77,117,75,113 M,11,104,7,119,116,6,25,84,26,88,5,71,6,99,31 R,10.66,63,93,H M,11,21,6,53,14,86,19,47,115,87,4,2,8 M,11,66,37,95,14,77,53,98,21,104,52,81,35,50,60 R,11.10,43,51,7 M,11,116,23,80,49,105,67,115,34,112,89,88,61 R,11.47,78,69,8 M,11,26,66,20,75,9,95,99,91,16,91,41,79 M,11,19,115,78,93,71,107,16,105,6,83,60,46 M,12,82,6,113,8,117,13,58,108,98,46,3,77,101,14 M,12,5,35,5,78,31,88,102,15,65,82,8,114,6,14 M,12,44,53,69,11,81,102,21,80,107,13,93,14,75,17 M,12,101,2,82,8,113,18,22,51,43,18,35,81,73,28 M,12,116,8,51,86,28,105,44,47,51,57,41,26,62,3 M,12,109,65,44,11,57,90,44,54,52,27,99,96,74,67 M,12,111,95,18,59,30,53,82,5,108,64,8,56,83,36 M,12,48,31,36,45,23,116,105,105,57,32,94,67,93,112 M,12,24,83,2,54,34,31,36,63,9,64,50,41,91,69 R,12.02,65,66,9 M,12,14,44,24,65,90,49,45,71,53,62,40,67 M,12,50,53,99,42,90,53,103,114,62,75,67,73,115,63 M,12,86,90,81,71,86,58,67,76,107,80,27,111,21,99 M,12,57,100,29,106,81,111,110,100,97,118,79,117,103,106 M,12,56,104,54,112,14,93,67,116,10,106,51,109,56,83 M,12,114,87,73,114,111,84,77,104,24,113,109,91,39,12 M,12,72,112,67,2,54,1,16,87,115,4,95,103 E,175 ////// Basic chart automatically generated by GSC2FIND ver 1.0 Guy M Hurst
