ASTR 688 S
To run xephem, type xephem at the prompt on a fast
astronomy machine. If you get a black and white version, define the
following alias and then type xephemc.
alias xephemc 'unsetenv XFILESEARCHPATH; xephem &; setenv XFILESEARCHPATH /usr/openwin/lib/locale/%L/%T/%N%S:/usr/openwin/lib/%T/%N%S'
Some very nice examples and helpful hints about xephem (as well as the program
itself) can be found at
