    Yes, Win2000 works fine with skymap. A while back I posted how to get
    skymap working on any version of Windows. The tips I posted sre likely
    to work for XP, which has the same code base, but I haven't yet seen XP.
    
    FYI, the skymap we are discussing is a Matson DOS program, not Chris
    Marriott's Windows-based Skymap Pro, which ALSO tracks satellites! The
    latter one lives at www.skymap.com .
