So can anyone suggest how planet.c should be used (after compilation - I can get that far) for all us non-gurus/wizards who would need more than a glance at the code?

Running 'planet' and giving it all of the appropriate information will generate a 'planet.star' file. If you now run any of the starchart display utilities, you will find planets in the proper relationships to the background of stars. Of course, for any particular time of day, you need to run 'planet' to put the orbs in their places. If you no longer want planet display, delete the file 'planet.star'. -- Kirk : Bones ? | Phil Mason, Astronautics Technology Center Bones : He's dead Jim. | Madison, Wisconsin - "Eat Cheese or Die!" ...seismo-uwvax-astroatc!philm | I would really like to believe that my ...ihnp4-nicmad/ | employer shares all my opinions, but . . .
