How can I add SAO star catalog for Starry Night pro 3.1?

Hi:

I thought the SAO came with this program as one of its "base" catalogs?

I have SN Pro 4.5, and I don't see the SAO catalog listed anywhere.
Individual stars' info includes HIP, TYCHO, Flamsteed, etc., numbers, but no
SAO, unless it's really buried. I wish SAO was in there, too.

One can load other catalogs into SNPro, by selecting, File, than Build Data
File..., and there is a SAO. dat file 1583 KB in the SNPro Data directory.
When i try to loaded, I get a syntex error.
So, I don't lnow what's going on.

Found this nice freeware program, French, comes with SAO catalog all ready
built in, (others can be loaded also) . It has SAO stars down to 9.5 mag.

It has SAO stars down to 9.5 mag, very nice. I have to play with it more.
