	Yes, it's got Gliese in there.	I should know, it's my web site.
	If Mr. Schoonmaker is having problems, I'd be happy to help him.
	So far CHVIEW is about the best starmap program out there.
	But I'm working on one of my own.  It can rotate the map
	in real time.  And show it in 3-d if you have red-blue 
	anaglyph glasses.
