I am lookin for some help from other owners of Distant Suns software I have just purchased this programme. First of all kudos to Mike Great programme and thanks for issuing a PAL version of the programme. I picked it up today at a local dealer cost over here was NZ$170 I hope you got a bit of that. Any way I am running it on a B2000 with 1 Meg Chip RAM and 2 Meg populated 2058 8 Meg board. Questions are the following: All the reviews of the programme I have read most recently in Amazing Amiga April edition have mentioned it will run on a 512k machine. My version had a sticker on the box saying PAL version 1 Meg. Is this the same as the 512k or it has other features? I also am having trouble with the programme crashing after certain actions With the hardware mentioned before I do the following: Boot up supplied disk. Start up programme. Set the environment. Set local. Set landscape. Set south using Quickview. Set horizon name planet Set planeterium. Set local. Set landscape. The screen then goes blank and the machine must be turned off to rest. This is repeatable everytime. As well the clock is trashed completely everytime and must be completely reset. When I set environment with the correct latitude and longitude i.e Wellington New zealand. Thanks for putting it in the manual Mike!. Anyway when set to 47 17S and 174 47E and click on OK then look at it later or after i have saved i it it has always changed to 41 59S and 174 59E. Any other people having the same problems. The version I have is on the Title Screen is 3.0 -PAL and on the title bar is V3.0c Jan 30 1990 Thanks for the help
