For those who haven't heard, Analytical Graphics, Inc. is releasing version 4.0 of their Satellite Tool Kit (STK) program, absolutely free. Their web site says they've decided it's the best way to introduce engineers to its power; the way I heard it, they lost a lawsuit claiming it was developed with government money and hence _can't_ legally sell it. At any rate, the add-on modules still cost large quantities of filthy lucre, but the basic program is quite impressive for anybody wanting to model satellite orbits, sensor and communicator field-of-view, etc., etc. Check it out at www.stk.com. -- Dave Golden http://www.pcisys.net/~goldendj -- goldendj@pcisys.net finger for PGP key *** USE OF THE ABOVE EMAIL FOR SOLICITATION PROHIBITED *** "He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself" -- Thomas Paine
