Hi Terry,
Actually, that was another problem that Aaron just fixed; namely, the
search area for VSP and for the photometry table were not identical in
size.  The error that we are looking for can be purely found by
looking at charts: the old archived chart for a field will show
lots of sequence stars, and the new VSP chart will show none.

So far, we've had a couple of additional fields reported to us through
CHET: V UMi and YZ And.  Thanks to those observers checking their
fields; the more of these cases we can find now and correct, the
happier I will be.
Arne
