I obtained a copy of ORBIT23.EXE from SIMTEL.  I have been quite happy with
it, however, I have been able to make a number of improvements to the program
that I would like to share.  However, I want to see how you feel about 
re-distributing the "modified" version of it and/or find out if you perhaps
would like to test drive it first.

To cover the hightlights, the changes include online help, friendlier
user interface, multiple beacon support (and description).  The major
improvements include the ability to ^C out at any time (not just when
displaying to screen) and when capturing report to file, the report is
echoed to the screen also.  This eliminates the "wait for the completed
report" or the "run it twice" syndrome (on a slooooww 8088, this is a
big deal).

The program now generates multiple reports (without going back to dos)
and permits previewing of satellite keplerian data without report
generation. It now also sports "other file" capability for keplerian
data.
