Some basic information missing from a LONG advertisement.

What OS's does it run under? What are the memory requirements?

Does it run on a Mac?

What OS's does it run under? What are the memory requirements?

Hi Larry:

Steve will no doubt get back to you on this...but...I'm a long time user of his
fine software...

--Windows 98 and up.

--The memory requirements are quite modest...I've run the earlier editions in
64mb. DAS runs quite well on my 256mb machine.

--You can run it on an Apple, but only with an emulator (couple of folks I know
are doing this).

If you have any other questions about it, feel free to email me. I've been
using this for the last 5 years or so and have been quite happy with it,
especially used in concert with Cartes du Ciel. For a minimum investment, you
get a system that has the charting power of Cartes with the databases of
Deepsky (CdC will use the compact version of the Guide Star Catalog included
with Deepsky, by the way). I particularly like the DVD edition, which has
thousands of nice images on the accompanying DVD.
