Oh, I'm sorry.
Go to my Full Thrust Stellar Cartography site, at
http://www.clark.net/pub/nyrath/ft/ftmapmain.html
About the third paragraph as a link to where you
can download the StereoStar program (IBM windows
only, but some other people are working on porting it
to the Macintosh).
Run it, load the file noM10pc.str, then pull
down the help menu. Read the quick start in
the online help to learn how to rotate the map.
Bewarned the program is buggy, and works much
better with the smaller files.
