[snip star data]

I have taken this data and converted it to a format that is 
readable by my 3d java applet. Unfortunately, I don't have a 
web site to act as host for the applet, but if anyone wants 
to view this data in a form more dynamic than a GIF, then 
email me and I'll send you the applet and html file. It may 
not be the most sophisticated piece of code, but you'll get 
the general idea of who would be fighting who in this 
section of galaxy...

Oh, one more thing, you'll need a java 1.1 compliant applet viewer
or web browser.
