[»] Binary only, no glibc2.3 support as of 2003/01/04
by Richard Rowell - Jan 4th 2003 19:39:37

Another nice astronomy package. I like the interface better then xephem's. However xephem is OSS as where this is closed. No glibc2.3 binaries at time of writing.

[»] x86 architecture only
by muTex - Apr 28th 2000 15:57:53

After downloading this progam's 2 Linux
versions I found that they are pre-compiled as x86
architecture executables. The REQUIREMENTS section
should be updated with this fact. No source either.
