Thanks Alan. Skymap finally works again. I am so happy. I also got STSPlus to work although I have forgotten all the options to use it. From the Z prompt I typed mount c c:\sattrack\skymap which is the directory of my files. Change as needed for your directory. Then I tried using the "cd c:\sattrack\skymap" which did not work. No quotes of course. Finally I just typed "skymap" without the quotes and it worked. Apparently once you invoke the "mount" command that places you into that directory. Maybe I have loaded ansi.com previously but for whatever reason, everything looks normal on Skymap.
