  [The february 1996 Beta-test version of] CHVIEW is intended as a three-dimensional aid to: viewing some of the nearer stars of our galaxy; navigating the distances and gravity "gradients" between them; accessing basic information (and updating what we know); and, hopefully, having some fun. The current data file provides over 7,700 stars believed to lie within 250 light-years (ly) of Earth, in a 500-ly diameter sphere. Future plans include modules for selecting a star (or multiple star system) and, based on available data and known astronomical relationships, for creating your own star system (of planets, moons, asteroids, Kuiper belt, Oort cloud/cometary halo, and even human colonies or space communities), for voyaging in faster-than-light (FTL) "starships", and the like.
