Two questions about the Celesticomp: 1) when does its almanac expire (I think some of the competition, such as the NC77, expire either this year or next)? 2) Way back in 2000 I ran into a problem with advancing LOP's that were, I think, more than 12 hours old. We talked about it then and I think the problem arose from how Celesticomp tracked dates. I found out about the problem when I tried to advance evening stars with a sun line the following morning. Was this problem ever fixed?
