Your message was held up considerably. Anyone know where the hold-up was?

BTW, if you go to www.leonidslive.com you can follow a link to the first
Java application that I think is even remotely useful - a satellite
tracking program that displays the position of 500 satellites in real time.
I loaded it up last night and found that the international space station
was due to pass directly over Adelaide in a few minutes, so I went outside
(in suburban Adelaide) and actually saw it.

Regards,

Arthur.
