    Hi All,

    I've written a couple of predict clients, that build on the
    supplied earthtrack and planettrack, that you may, or may
    not find usefull.

    First is satellitetrack. This is very similar to planettrack,
    but adds the following features:

       o Automatic Update when running the -window flag of xplanet,
          every x seconds
       o Adjustable Colour Scheme
       o Satellite Footprints drawn, even when satellite not within
         range of groundtation
       o Ground Track Capability

    missiontrack allows you to specify upto 5 'main' satellite's,
    and unlimited 'aux' satellites and groundstations in a config
    file.

    Both are avaliable under the GPL at the URL:
    http://www.xciv.org/~iain/iii-predictclients/ in the file
    iii-predictclients.tar

    Note that both use xplanet only, and not xearth.

    I have a few further ideas at various stages of development,
    so I'll be adding them to the collection when they are in a
    state to release.

    Iain
