    I have some charts on disks.

    There are: BSB, GEO, KAP and NOS file extensions.

    When I try to use them with the Nobeltec Visual Navigator chart program I
    get:

    NOS - files do not appear in the install window.

    GEO - files do appear in install window, but when I try to intstall them I
    get a message that says error in file header, not installed.

    BSB - files do not appear in the install window.

    KAP - files do appear in install window and install properly.

    There seems to be a relationship between the KAP and BSB files. For every
    KAP file there is often a BSB file of 1KB with a similar name.

    There also seems to be a relationship between the GEO and NOS files. For
    every NOS file there is often a GEO file of 1 or 2 KB with a similar name.

    Can anybody educate me as to the various raster chart files.
