Sol System is a program designed to show the position and orbit for all the planets in the Sol system (Sol being the name of our star). This kind of display is sometimes called an orrery and is useful in seeing planetary alignment for various dates.
· Main screen displays as many planets as you wish at varying zoom levels.
· Date can be set to any valid Palm date.
· Display can be moved so that the sun appears at any location on or off the screen. This allows for close up viewing of various portions of a planet's orbit.
· Planets can be made to orbit the sun (in either positive or negative time direction) with varying time and display increments with a simple button click.
· Full color support.
