[Thinstation-announce] Astronomy software for Thinstation 2.2 available!

[Mike E. <thi...@gm...>]

Anton Borisov has made a couple of wonderful packages for Thinstation for
anybody interested in astronomy. Here is what Boris has to say:
***
Welcome to a wonderful world of space, sky and navigation.
I'd like to introduce three packages more or less connected
with astronomic observations, or speaking precisely:

Celestia 1.4.1, Free Space Simulation Program
Stellarium 0.8.0, Virtual Planetarium
XEphem 3.7, Interactive Astronomy Program

Some of these programs (especially XEphem) require sometimes
a huge database (about several Gb) to run the way they were
designed, however it was possible to release them as packages
to Thinstation project (was tested with TS2.2rc2).
