I am looking for information on celestial navigation software.  The
ideal software would contain a nautical almanac, updateable from the
constants published for the year by the Naval Observatory, as well as
sight reduction and plotting.  The software would estimate the
geographic center of the polygon formed by multiple intersecting lines
of position, and describe the apparent error of the fix.  It would be
written in BASIC for the Tandy TRS model 100, or available as ROM for
that small laptop.  If you know of any, please send me mail.  If I get
more than ten replies, I'll summarize to rec.boats.
