Ok, I d/l skychart (3.0.1.0) and installed it. It gives me an access
violation every time I search for an object (Planets, m57, etc) I realize
this app is beta but something more must be wrong.

Oh, I did get the Windows 2.76 working, the catalogs must have been
corrupted. I copied them across from the linux zip files and everything
worked.

I am running it on fc4.

I haven't found any documantation on skychart 3.x How do you set up sao
and the variable star index's.

Hi:

The best thing to do is ask this on the Yahoo Skycharts group. Patrick
Chevalley is there most of the time, and I'm sure he can help you sort
this out. I've got 3.0 running on a couple of machines problem-free.

Peace,
Rod Mollise
