Hi folks,

I've just posted an 'in-testing' version at the usual site,

http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm

Relative to the previous 'in-testing' version, this has two
improvements of note. Printing from help/more info is much more
reliable and flexible (the way it used to work was embarrassing).
The other fix is in reply to Jeff Buell's comment:

"...Using rt-click/drag to measure the distance between 2 objects doesn't
give the value for RA offset that I expect. Dec offset and distance
appear to be fine. But RA offset seems to have a factor of cos(dec)
applied to it. That is, it is accurate for 2 points on the equator, but
gives half the value I expect for 2 points at 60 deg dec. Using the
Num-0 method gives the same results."

You can think of an RA offset as being in arcseconds or arcminutes
or degrees, in which case the way Guide did it was absolutely right:
the distance should scale with the cosine of the declination, just
as Jeff noted. But sometimes, you instead want to know the RA offset
in units of time. This is true, for example, if two objects are
east/west of each other, and you want to center the first one, then
wait for the second to drift through the field of view. So now,
Guide shows both flavors of RA offset.

In the process of doing this, I realized that the RA and dec offsets,
and the position angles, are functions of epoch, but the data shown
by Guide for these values was always in J2000. This is fixed.
