RE: Comparing Stellarium to Heavensat

I tried to run Heavensat recently, and it won't display predictions.. It shows where the Satellite is, and such, but it wont produce
the table of passes.. 
	Is there an updated version of Heavensat somewhere, as mine is years old..

I received suggestions, private and public, from several members of Seesat.
I looked into all the suggestions and made some changes.
  I don't know which specific items helped, but the program now starts 
in 5 seconds instead of 5 minutes!

Thank you very much to all who wrote to me. You made a big difference.
