G'morning. (or evening, as the case might be.)
I have chosen the wordl system to build a full set of charts around.
(drumroll, please)
Terra.
The best other suggestion I had was Regency. Since I don't have the
TNE books, but I _do_ have a set of information about our local
system, I went for the "easy" way. :=)
Looks like it's gonna be in excess of 70 8.5X11 inch pages. This is
just for the 40 or so likely natural bodies, plus some human-
created ones as well, and some notable asteroids.
The *BIG* problem I'm encountering is choosing a tool that will:
1. be easy for me to use to create the charts
2. Produce files easy for people to view or print
3. Be widely available.
So far, I have (kind of) settled on Word for windows (v 6--the one
that's supposed ot be Mac compatible). This leave X11 users out in
the cold, except I think I can save the files as postscript when
I'm done. Anyway, please send me your requests for other formats
(I think) GIF is gonna be _tough_ to generate from this.
