	There is a computer program for MS-DOS that shows the stars
	in 2300AD and rotates them, located at
	http://www.clark.net/pub/nyrath/smap07.html#nearstar
	It is not quite as useful as one could hope.
	http://www.clark.net/pub/nyrath/starmap.html
	has links to some GIF images of 3 dimensional starmaps of
	the local area, plus many links to other useful sites.
