One of the things I like best about Rob Matson's Skymap is that it's a DOS
program. That means I can automate it a bit. Here is SOLAR.BAT:
cd \skymap
del solar.txt
del solar.srt
skymap solar
sort < solar.txt > solar.srt
q solar.srt
It deletes the output files from the last time I ran it, runs SKYMAP with
SOLAR.CFG. After I'm done with that, it sorts the output file and runs my
text editor.
I have another called LUNAR.BAT that does exactly the same thing for lunar
transits.....
Sorting the output file is automatic in either case.....
