I *think* I'm spelling that correctly.  It's supposed to be a new
computer program that lets you create the particulars of stars and
worlds in excruciating detail, including finding travel/trade links
between any of them.  A fellow I just started gaming with bought it
the other day, but it seems to have a rather glaring bug.  He's trying
to use it to generate route maps to and among the real stars within 50
light years of Earth.  He can get it to show any route . . . except
those that include Sol.  The system refuses to show him routes which
have our system as the origin or destination.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?
