SPECIAL ADVISORY FOR THE HALE-BOPP EDITION
------------------------------------------
Before you dive into this version of Coeli, it is only fair
that we point out the presence of a known bug associated with
the late addition of the Hale-Bopp comet display honouring the
fast approaching millennial celestial event of this spring and
summer 1997...
The bug takes the form of an occasional/intermittent floating
point error, with no apparent regular logic or cause. It
occurs principally when animating Solar System bodies or with
certain of Coeli's time-advance funtions.
We should like to make it known at the outset that pressing
[alt]+[c] will banish the bug forever, since it is associated
with our last-minute addition of comet displays, and [alt]+[c]
is the way to toggle these displays on and off...
Needless to say, we are working on this minor problem and
should have it fixed by the next Coeli update. However, this
would have been too late for Hale-Bopp. We debated long and
hard whether to incorporate the comet's display in this
particular release, as against simply forgetting about it, and
settled resoundingly on its inclusion.
The most efficient means of tracking such a significant and
not-to-be-repeated-in-our-lifetimes astronomical event should
be accessible to the maximum number of people. Now, with Coeli
installed on your computer, you are one of that number.
Welcome.
