When  WinRAR 95 starts it displays a default directory listing, just
change the drive letter (toolbar pulldown) and directory to where you saved
astphoto.rar,
click on the rar file and WinRAR opens it is a file list.

Alternatively, if the rar extension is associated with WinRAR you can just
double click
on the astphoto.rar file from Explorer and it will run WinRAR directly.

The Command/Extract-to-Directory menu item lets you control where the files
will be put.

I see the film information is in a simple ASCII text file that can be added
to with Notepad 
or similar. There is only one film factor that varies from .78 to .9 that
isn't documented.  
Maybe somebody from the Astronomical Society of Southern New England, who
distribute it 
could clarify what it meant and then the film list could be brought up to
date.

Anybody know more about the folk at ASSNE?
