SkyView
=======

SkyView performs many of the functions of a planetarium.
It allows you to see the appearance of the sky from any
specified location on the earth. You can change the date
and time for which the sky is displayed to see the sky as it
looked in the past or as it will look in the future. 
SkyView displays the positions of the sun, moon, and all
naked-eye planets, as well as all the stars down to a
limiting magnitude you select. 

SkyView creates star displays for varying locations and calendars.

Requires NEXTSTEP 3.x.

Release Notes SkyView 1.1     April 1994

Improved date/time panel interface. Now includes increment/decrement
buttons (and page up/down keys) and uses a circular slider. Also
handles daylight-savings-time and days-per-month automatically.

Improved defaults handling. Now saves window frame positions.

Tightened parts of the geometry code to speed up screen redraw and
avoid identical redraws.

Changed defaults owner from CDISkyView to SkyView to be consistent
with appkit defaults.
