So I did 'grep planet README starchart.l' and got:
starchart.l:Star data is optionally overlayed with other cosmic objects, such as planets.
starchart.l:.RB ( planet.star )

Big help, eh? So can anyone suggest how planet.c should be used (after
compilation - I can get that far) for all us non-gurus/wizards who would
need more than a glance at the code? (And who have the later version of
README. (NB the kind assumption))
