Some time ago I gave a look to the sources: they are both a big mess, but I admit it was a very quick attempt (I was very busy in the last months). I could try to update them as summer homework. :) (perhaps asking some help to those people working on saods9 in ubuntu) Rant: Why the astronomers are not capable of programming? Or... Why re-invent the wheel with some ad-hoc trick instead of using standard things like anyone? I mean: why include all the libraries you need? Why saods9 ships a modified version of tcl/tk? ciao Riccardo ps. please cc me in replies, as I'm subscribed only to d-s-m@l.a.d.o, not (yet?) to debian-qa.
