The short story about the 600 Doubles from Ken is the best formatted I've found. While searching my hard drive I found three, count them three, in various directories. None of them were formatted as nicely as the one from Ken. Thanks Ken.

Also, what I have been looking for and haven't found, not even on my HD, is a date when these were put together. My guess, and that is just what it is a guess, is the late 1980's or early 1990's. There is a comment for Sirius about it getting tougher until 1994, so the date should be before that. Any ideas from the other authors?

Have we thought of contacting the Sky Commander folks and asking them:

        A: Which database did they use?

        B: Why haven't they updated?

Just a thought :-).
