For the last few weeks I have been looking for a program called "Sky Travel". It is an astronomy program which allows the user to look at stars and planet positions at any time in past, present or future. However, I could not find it. Has anyone heard of this or has any information about it. Thanks in advance.

You can view the stars, planets, eclipses, and even Halley's comet from anywhere on earth from 10,000 BC to 10,000 AD. The program is distributed by Commodore, so look for dealers who carry Commodore software. It lists for about $40; I got a copy by mail order for about $30. Don Gentner UC San Diego

Sky Travel is an impressive program. The author sent me a copy that wouldn't load, but I have seen a very impressive demo. If you have it, put yourself in Toronto in the present and look at the horizon near downtown! -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
