Printing a constellation works very well with starlaser but not
perfect. Is it just me or do others get overwriting names and gaps
in the left side sometimes. Starlaser is very well done and I just
thought I would mention the bugs so they can be corrected for an
even more impressive product in the future.
Starpic is cleaner than starlaser but the size of the stars is
not well done (it IS WELL DONE in starlaser) and only small files
seem possible. For example, try and do 'mayt' even if you change
the PICFRAG in starpic.c
Well, that is it for now... Great product - look forward to
another update without these bugs.

The overwriting names seems to be a feature; however, the following changes to starlaser.c should fix the gaps in the left side (and a minor scaling problem): In starlaser.c, change the following lines: 27: #define TSCALEU 69 /* text mode scaling */ 28: #define TSCALEL 10 32: #define XOFF 1060 /* text centering offset (in decip... to: 27: #define TSCALEU 139 /* text mode scaling */ 28: #define TSCALEL 20 32: #define XOFF 460 /* text centering offset (in decip... Also, add the lines (in function vecsym): 106.1: if( x < 0 ) x = 0; 106.2: if( y < 0 ) y = 0; These should be the two lines immediately preceding the call to printf. Also add (in function vecsyms): 118.1: if( x < 0 ) x = 0; 118.2: if( y < 0 ) y = 0; These should also be the two lines immediately preceding the call to printf. > Ken Ross Cunniff Hewlett-Packard System Software Operation ...{ucbvax,hplabs}!hpda!cunniff cunniff%hpda@hplabs.ARPA
