This program was originally designed several years ago as an aid to
myself, (an amateur stargazer), in locating the planets and constellations. I
tend to forget where things are between my periods of observation, and I find
this program of great value in re-orienting myself.
***************
If after testing it, you find this program to be of assitance to you,
a Donation of $20 would be appreciated. Please send it to the address above,
and you will be registered as an owner, to receive updates and further infor-
mation. This Donation is not rigid, and whatever amount you feel is justified
would be considered appropriate. A lot of time and research goes into writing
a program such as this, so please bear that in mind.
***************
This Program may be freely Uploaded and Downloaded to and from any
Bulletin Board or other Public access utility, as long as it is passed-on in
it's entirety, including this file, and no alterations are made. It may also
be copied and passed on to others, with the same stipulation in mind.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS and ENHANCEMENTS
------------------------------------
I have already finished a variation of this program that will locate
and highlight NEBULAS and other Diffuse objects in the Sky. There are also a
few operational differences, such as a dynamic Cursor that locates objects in
Azimuth and Altitude for easy Local reference. For a Registration Fee of $30,
Plus $3 for Postage and Handling, ($33 Total) I will send you a 360k Diskette
containing this New Program. Or, if you are already a Registered Owner, I will
send it for $13.
***************
I am working on other variations, such as Comet Tracking, and Binary
Star Location. These will be available soon, and registered owners of the orig-
nal program will be notified.

The Disk File Astronom.doc is a reference and operations manual. It
can be scrolled by the 'TYPE ASTRONOM.DOC' command, or it may copied to your
printer by the 'Copy ASTRONOM.DOC LPT1' (or LPT2) command. Good Luck and keep
your eyes to the Stars........
No responsibility or liability is assumed by the author other than
the program should 'Run' on PC and true Compatibles.
