I haven't seen the latest version of starchart if it's not what we
have at pika, and I'm not sure that I have time to do substantial work
on it. The next thing I do will be to use a better projection, and to
load the SAO star catalog, so that starchart can be used for real
astronomical finder charts, and not just fun computer displays. I
have the SAO catalog on tape (about 100 kstars), but the format needs
to be changed, and it is huge (like 9 meg). You might convince Jim to
write a more hackerly version of it; he wrote almost all of the X code
(I just did the inverse video).

Don't hold your breath :-). [ maybe that should be 8-+ ]
I am off in the land of randomized wait-free consensus protocols.
Hackerliness will have to wait until I can finish some lower-bounds
proofs, which could take several months yet. Oh, the joys of graduate
studies...
Jim
