Subject: [URL] Near Star Map

I have created a near star map in easy to read GIF format
its in the FT Computer Core - Maps section 37Kb.

This was created with ftmap program from a data file supplied by Winchell
Chung (Nyrath the Nearly Wise) from the Gliese star catalog. It shows all
stars within 7pc of Sol. The scale is in 10th parsecs so 10 is 1pc.

Printing versions can be created by saving the image and negating it in a
paint program.

Ah, thats plan B an anaglyph version is to come I just have to do the 110
image files required.

It also uncovered a bug in ftmap that needs fixing and also made me think
about some enhancements that would make starmapping easier using it...
