Using SkyMap with Windows XP

Hello all,

I'm sure this has been posted before, so my apologies in advanve for that.

I've recently upgraded my system to Windows XP, and have had some struggles
getting it to co-operate with Rob Matson's fantastic SkyMap program.

Adding:

devicehigh=c:\windows\system32\ansi.sys

to my CONFIG.NT file got the menus working somewhat , but I'm still having
problems using the "All Satellite Search" function -- specifically with
chronologically sorting its ouput. I've read that I might need a file called
SORT.EXE in the Skymap folder, but have no idea where to find this app.

Any suggestions with regard to this -- or anything else as far as using
SkyMap with XP?

Regards,
Ron
