About coordinates in Star fleet orders: they are multiplied by 10.

BUT
1) negative numbers between -1 and -0 are made positive i.e. if it tells
you to go
to -5 , 20 you can't, because you can't get to _-0.5_, 2.0 on the
starmap.
2) With patch ntsc installed, I  think there is a mouse movement
granularity problem on the starchart.
i.e. vertical space is compressed, so you can't point the mouse at some
y coords.


The upshot of this is that if you are told to go to certain coordinates,
you usually cant!.

If someone (Tobias) can fix this (and move the popup windows down into
the black space on the 
interlace screen) I'd be very grateful. This is the first game in a year
that's kept my interest for more than a couple of  hours.

p.s. if you know how to contact Tobias, please forward this to him
.
