I have just finished a graphic satellite tracking program that tracks
as many satellites as you have elements for (the elements posted to
sci.space come in real handy!!!)  The satellite positions are updated
about once every 6 seconds or so for the 98 satellites listed in the
current batch of orbital elements.  It is very pretty to watch, since
the satellites leave contrails on a background map of the world -- very
pretty to watch -- like kinetic art.

It is written in GFA Basic 2.0 -- If anyone wants a copy let me know.
It is being sent to comp.sources.atari.st, but some people can't wait!
