Lines: 20 The programs from Celestial Basic by Eric Burgess are available for about $50 from "S&T Software" in California. The street address is buried in one of the program listings in the book. "S&T" is Eric Burgess. I received a reply in less than a week from Eric himself. Even if they are "bad basic", the programs do work. Buying the disk is easier than typing 1000's of lines in and then trying to debug typos. The 1984 version has routines to show Halley's comet. Has anyone tried the set of programs named "Tellstar" that are advertised in Astronomy magazine? Somewhere I think that I read that they are written in pascal.
