Well, although I have WinZip at work, I use ZipCentral here at home (which doesn't handle tarballs). But, I also have 7zip and GNU tar, so I can just extract the tarball that way. I probably have WinZip (as well as InfoZip) stashed away somewhere as well. > 2B (without Winzip) > Go to <ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/pub/cats/I/255/> and drag the folder > labelled "GSC_ACT" to your ..\ciel\cat folder > > 3B (optional): twiddle thumbs while waiting for 600MB to download > > Step 4: In CdC, click prefs>catalogs>stars2, select the HST GSC > "compact" option, and set the pointer to ..ciel\cat\GSC-ACT (that will > end in "GSC_ACT" (underscore rather than dash) if you used the second > option, but you can rename the folder if you want.) Sounds like a plan - I'm up to 30MB downloaded already as I finish this message so it won't be long. Thanks! -- Len Philpot ><> [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://philpot.org/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
