I am looking for data pertaining to the longitude and latitude of as many cities in the world as possible in order to write an astrological plotting program. Does anyone know where I may find them or could someone possibly send them? Thanks in advance. G.M.L-K.

You can get it on IBM Formatted 3.5" diskettes, which can directly be read into an ST. - Rob DeMillo | Internet: rjd@brown.cs.edu Brown University | BITnet: DEMILLO%BRNPSG.SPAN@STAR.STANFORD.EDU Planetary Science Group | Reality: 401-273-0804 (home) "I say you *are* the Messiah, Lord!

It also gives you celestial coordinates for selected stars. Anyone know the coordinates for Sacramento, CA?

I though the ANTIC program wasn't accurate enough, and the one books I have is in BASIC and the code is quite spaggetti. Any help will be appeciated.
