	Great map you made with the data, Tim!	Great graphics.

	But it could use a companion listing, as the map 
	has a limited indication of how high the stars are
	above and below the map's surface.

	Otherwise, it is a fine addition to the FT computer core.

	( I wrote a quick program that digested the Gliese data
	and outputted the data in ftmap format, according
	to Tim's specifications. )
