gstar is a gtk front-end for the "starchart" program (originally by Alan
Paeth, updated in 1990 by Craig Counterman) which generates high-quality
postscript charts of any chosen region of the sky.

The GUI requires that the gtk libraries (>= 1.2.0) be installed.  See
http://www.gtk.org if you want to know more about gtk.

The postscript generator from the original "starchart" suite is included,
in source form, in this package.  So are the data files you need to
generate the charts, so this package is self-contained.

See the file INSTALL for installation directions.  See README in the
starchart sub-directory for some more info on the starchart program
itself.

gstar itself is under the Gnu Public License (see COPYING).  For
copyright info on the starchart code see starchart/README.orig
