Cartes du Ciel - help needed?

I've final loaded this shareware CD v2.75.3 [date=040602] that came with my Bresser Skylux and I'm quite impressed;-). However I'd like to include the Gen Cat of Var Stars [GCVS] but it doesn't appear to be on the CD.

Any advise on where and how to install the cat into this sw appreciated and any other Ciel enhancements that may be useful. TIA

You can find it on the website of the author.
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/astro/progs/p...cdc/cdcvar.exe

More generaly, you will find all the extensions here

Just run the .exe and it will be installed at the right place (ie in the
same directory as the main program).
