The coordinates are given in different coordinate systems: the geocentric ecliptic and also the equatorial and horizontal systems of the observer. Further you will see the magnitude of the planets and the phase of the moon and also sidereal time, mean solar time and the equation of time. When a solar or lunar eclipse is possible you can also investigate the eclipse from any place on earth. You can study heliacal risings and settings of planets and stars and also conjunctions, planetary stations and occultations. A special option in the program allows you to check the visibility of the new and old moon crescent.Finally you can study the transits of Mercury and Venus. Included with PLANET is a small helper application, Mini Star Catalog, containing a list of 410 bright and important stars. It is possible to choose any star from the catalog and transfer it (one at a time) to PLANET by drag and drop. Once the star is inside PLANET it will displayed by coordinates updated for current precession and proper motion. Also it is possible to study the heliacal rise and set of the star. The program is freeware.

I got the card REAL cheap but it has no installer disk. The front of the card says "Farallon LAN/Modem PC Card". It is a v.34 33.6 modem and a 10t Ethernet card. The barcode # is 000C5550610. Does anybody have the installer file? Farallon's successor website doesn't have drivers for older models. TIA John _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Also bought a HP2000DN with the Ethernet option included. To transfer files between the Mac and the PC, MacSoho is pretty simple to setup. I have a HUB and this is it. Both machines share the same internet high speed connection to a telephone line and I can work on both at the same time. The speed is good. The beauty of MacSoho is that I can still use my high-speed ethernet line without rebooting all the time. Tried Timbuktu, but you cannot use it and the high-speed ethernet modem at the same time. The problem is the TCP/IP settings which is needed for both the modem and Timbuktu. Tried DAVE which is made by the same company which produces MacSoho (Thurby Software), but it was difficult to setup. Also, with MacSoho you do not alter the PC or almost none except adding a new protocol for the ethernet card. The price is only 50$ download and you can try before you buy for 30 days. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis Bergeron C.P. 68 Granby Qc Canada J2G 8E2 Telephone (450) 776-1074 Telecopieur condidentiel Fax (450) 776-1113 E-mails tiwi@lino.com bergloui@sympatico.ca CSE de Granby 385 Principale Granby Qc J2G 2W5 Telephone (450) 375-3577 #228 Telecopieur multi-usagers (non confidentiel) Multi-users fax (450) 777-5842 -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
