I have had it running on XP as well with no problems.

BTW I also am (slowly) working on a Data Clean project of my own for
Universe and Heaven&Earth over at my website. There hasn't been much done
for a number of months since I got very sick shortly after work began but I
have what IMO is a better data set than the old Genie Data that Universe and
others currently use. The site describes the changes made and the sources
and what/why changes were made. Nothing Radical. So if interested feel free
to take a look. I don't know when I will do more updates since I am still
ill and don't get much time to work these days on Traveller material. 

But the data is ina good place for any further personal taste additions
someone may want to add. 

BBTW - For more detailed info on importing and exporting data and
manipulating it check out the TravellerRPG forums in the Software section.
There are a couple real good threads on Universe where I, Mr. Trevor, and
others discuss non-helpfile methods of copy,move,edit of data that comes in
real handy.

If my further upcoming surgeries go well and all the IV Therapy treatments
work, maybe I can get back to completing the project in the fall/winter. But
for now only the Spinward Marches data is 98% complete.
