To create a new location database follow this procedure:
- copy the default excel file to an other one with a new name (my_location.xls for exemple)
- Edit the file if you want to remove some lines or add new ones,
- open location_list.txt using notepad and paste the lines of the first column into it (without the first line :-))
- save the new text file
- Open a Dos session and change directory to the one of the program,
- Run LocationDB.exe to create the new database,
astromist_location.pdb file is created in the same folder.

You have just to install the new database on your palm (memory card or hotsync).
