Might Win98/ME users get the ability to make celurls in the forthcoming 1.3.2 ?
Pretty-please , bended knee, thumb to forehead etc !

(or did it already get fixed in a recent pre release that I missed ?)

Nope, still not fixed. My understanding is this is an issue with the OS, not Celestia. Instead of relying on a keyboard shortcut, is it possible in a future release to have an additional command to the File menu, say "Copy Cel/Url", and force the copy? Or does it involve the same mechanism and wouldn't matter?

Other than that, 1.3.2 looks great! The transition from 1.3.1-1 went very smooth.

I agree, not fixed, shame. But if it is an OS issue then this would explain why it has been so long outstanding,,, still, amazing things can be done by amazing programers to thwart the machinations of MS OSes, so,,, one lives in hope ,,,,
perhaps another good reason why my next play-machine should have Linux on it, do the Linux versions of Celestia support CelURL I wonder ?

Thanks for your thoughts Dave.

PS - I have feathered the nest of B.Gates thro' many versions since Win3.11 and he is now richer than me,,, which is only one reason that I dont expect to ever go the XP route, another is that I cant be bothered with all that registrationnnonsense if I want to fiddle with my machine !

CelURLs work on my Linux SuSE 9.1 and Mozilla 1.7 (had to install the "mozex" plugin)
