About the third paragraph as a link to where you can download the StereoStar
program (IBM windows only, but some other people are working on porting it to
the Macintosh).
Run it, load the file noM10pc.str, then pull down the help menu. Read the
quick start in the online help to learn how to rotate the map.
Bewarned the program is buggy, and works much better with the smaller files.
