    Here is how I got Rob Matson's iridflar & skymap to work on Win2000.
    Thanks to those people who have helped me!
    
    Edit C:\WINNT\system32\config.nt to insert the line:
    devicehigh=%SystemRoot%\system32\ansi.sys
    & reboot.
    
    If that doesn't work, dig deeper.
    In Windows Explorer, right-click iridflar.exe and choose Properties.
    On the Program tab, click the Advanced button.
    In the dialog that comes up, your config filename points to the file
    that you want to edit. (Usually C:\WINNT\system32\config.nt.)
    Edit that file.
    
    Further tip for people using skymap.exe; you'll also need a program
    called sort.exe to make an all-satellite search work. Ask someone to
    send that to you & put it in the same folder as skymap.
    
    Mark
