Hi, CdC 3 use tcp/ip instead of dde, this is probably much more easy to interface.
You can find script example in the source package or here: http://skychart.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/skychart/trunk/skychart/scripts/ There is java and perl example, tcpclient2.pl show how to produce a jpeg image of M37. To know all the available command search for "cmdlist" in the source file u_constant.pas. A command you need that is not in the example is "setdate yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss" I think with this command it is easy to do a script that read your date and target star and produce a list of chart. Beware I just correct tcpclient2.pl to work with the last version, it is possible there is other bug because I not often test for all the change I do to the program. BTW "gettz" work but I need to adapt "settz" for the new timezone system. Patrick
