Martin (and the rest of you helpful people):
  (1)  there appear to be no copies of either Woolley or Gliese here in
       San Diego.  I made trips to UCSD, SDSU, and even USD with no luck. 
  (2)  UC Irvine has (according to MELVYN, the online UC library catalog)
       a copy of Woolley.
  (3)  Michael Hartsough, a student at USC, found a copy of Gliese (or was
       it Woolley?) and checked it out (bless his heart).  I may yet run
       up and look at it (not to mention do some xeroxing).
  (4)  Had a long and profitable talk with Wayne Warren, director of the
       Astronomical Data Center at NASA/Goddard.  He has both Gliese and
       Woolley *on mag tape* and will cheerfully send me the files if I
       send him a blank tape.  Then I'll just need to find someone who
       can transfer it from mag tape to a uucp node (and thence to crash).
       Warren also said that Gliese is working on a brand-new catalog of
       nearby stars which is supposed to be out by early next year.  I, for
       one, plan to buy a copy when it comes out.
  (5)  If you're interested in the star map program (or even just the list
       of nearby stars), please drop me a line at the address below.  I'm
       not ready (able) to send stuff out yet, but I will as soon as I can.
       As mention, the Mac version is written in MacAdvantage (UCSD Pascal);
       I hope to quickly convert it to C (probably Megamax), so state your
       preference as to which language you want (IBM'ers:  I'll do a conver-
 sion to Turbo Pascal at some point).  
  (6)  Thanks to one and all; you've all been great.
