Hi!
I cannot get it to work. Am I missing something or is the procedure different for Linux? Just to be sure I downloaded a new version of CDC through the link here, and un-tarred it in place (tar -xf *.tar). I point the HST Compact option to /usr/share/apps/skychart/cat/gsc-act but it still is red in the dialog box. And I use the dialog to avoid typing the wrong file name. What is CDC looking for in the specified directory?
