I just reinstalled the game after many years of not playing. I forgot
where the useful key for determining distances between stars was - and
I googled everywhere to no avail. I thought I'd make a post here for
posterity and for whoever doesn't already know:

The F9 key allows you to measure the distance between any 2 stars.
This is an extremely useful feature!

So, MOO2 is working pretty well except that the mouse is hard to use
on some screens, like the Tax Rate screen. Any ideas?

F6 - Prv Colony
F10 - Save Game to "continue" slot

What is the problem with the Tax rate screen? You click on the panel
at the right? It comes up? You click on the % button?

If you're referring to some technical problem my only advice is to
run the game on a 1996 computer with DOS installed (or Win95 if you're
a masochist).

Use DOSBox. That is the standard solution. It solves any technical
problem on newer comps with XP, Vista, MacOS or linux.
