[APBeta] AstroPlanner V2.0b98 released

[Bruce Pipes]

Paul,

You did not mention the "hard crash when downloading DSS images" problem under Mac OS, but I wanted you to know that I downloaded a couple of images tonight with  AP2b98 and had no crashes. Not a real test, but an indication that the problem may be fixed.

This is a consequence of a bug that was fixed, and then un-fixed, by the annoying compiler vendor. i.e. if you're running on a PowerPC Mac and you try running scripts or printing objects/observation, it will most likely hard crash on you. I'm hoping to get a compiler fix soon, and release a version of AP that's safe to use on PowerPC Macs.
