Hi,

I really need to release a stable version 3.0 as all this issue are solved.

>1. Planet magnitudes are being displayed incorrectly, especially for 
>inferior planets. 

Use the version 3.0 test version ( http://www.ap-i.net/skychart )

>2. When I use the Astrorb database for plotting asteroid positions, 
>the accuracy is well... out of this world. 

This is because of an Astorb format change to manage for more than 100000 
numbered asteriods. The one character shift produce really strange result
Try with this file :
http://www.ap-i.net/tmp/astorb.zip
This is the first 1000 asteroids elements shifted on character left.
The shell command to produce the file is:
head -1000 astorb20060214.dat | sed 's/^.//' > astorb.dat

Or again use version 3.0, it use MPCORB stored in a database, this give much 
more capability.   

>3. How can I fine move the chart in all directions (using the arrows 
>on my keyboard)?

Press the Shift key and the arrows. The finest possible move is with the middle 
mouse button.

>4. Where is the file in witch the software saves its user options? In 
>C:/Windows? Can't find it...

In the Windows registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Astro_PC\Ciel
