Binary star positions


Binary Star:
Start Year:   End Year:   Step:

The chosen star can be given as a record number, as ADS# or as a string, using the binorbit.dbf
(adapted from the Fourth Catalog of Orbits of Visual Binary Stars)
(Alternative input is on a command line:

`-h' gives help.)

 nebo oněch sedm elementů nahradit číslem záznamu v databázi,
  ADS# či jménem dvojhvězdy (pole Name souboru binorbit.dbf).

This is a result of the programme tr_bin_t (should be available as a part of a package pas_jh.zip (1.2 MB) -- the needed Pascal units themselves are unzipped within this directory, the whole tree of my programmes within this directory) with a command line: 
tr_bin_t '-h' 2000 2030 5
