Hi, The program MOONBEAM determines the phase, position, and illumination of the moon. It will also plot the moon on a screen generated star chart using the Yale Observatory Bright Star database. To accomplish this the data base needed to be packed to fit on a single floppy along with the program, hence this disk should have three files on it. 1). This read.me file 2). moonbeam.com 3). star.rec The plotting routine will not work if star.rec is not present in the default drive. Also, the ploting routine requires the something that looks like an IBM Color Graphics Card. If you have a graphics printer, the star chart can be printed by issuing the MS/DOS graphics command before running moonbeam. Then use the PRT SC command when the star chart is on the crt. To start the program just type moonbeam. May clear skies be with you! Fred Mendenhall
