First questions about Cygwin is I see a 1.7 Beta download version for
it, and references to 1.5 downloads. Where's 1.6? Is it past Beta?<br>

That's a lot of text to respond to, but let me see if I can broadly do
it.<br>
<br>
It appears that the idea of executing Linux code under Win XP is
d-e-a-d. (Let's ignore VM)<br>
I will need to recompile the c-code in some way under Win XP. Probably
Cygwin.<br>
The python code I'm working on will only be available to a private
audience which is comprised of Win users. <br>

Some years ago I started down the CygWiu road just to have Linux
available under Win. Old habits die hard. It was erratic and I pulled
it off. Cygwin seems to be still alive, so I think I will give it a
shake today. I hope it can tolerate the Makefiles and libraries the 38K
line program requires. My former knowledge of Makefiles died years ago.
Here's the main program's header file (and part of a Makefile).
Probably the tricky part is the graphic library use. In the meantime, I
headed for a Cygwin download.<br>
<br>
wolf.c, the main program header.<br>
<br>
#define wolf<br>
<br>
#include <stdio.h><br>
#include <stdlib.h><br>
#include <string.h><br>
#include <unistd.h><br>
#include "cgi-draw.h" <---- This guy, maybe<br>
#include "novas.h"<br>
#include "global.h"<br>
#include "calstars.h"<br>
#include "imatrix.h"<br>
#include "cnstl.h"<br>
<br>
A sample of Makefile.linux<br>

output_image - filename of the output jpg processed image.<br>

write_on_target - if 1, type labels on the output image. In
this case, <br>

white stars).<br>
constellations - if 1, draw constellations (greek style)
