Hi Brandon,
Well, the link is helpful, but what I meant was the doc pages themselves might best be absorbed into github so they can be updated over time as well.
Not that editing them would be any fun. I originally wrote all the docs using Applixware (anyone remember that?) and when that disappeared I hand-edited the html it generated from then on.
In short, feel free to scrape for anything you find?useful.
Thanks very much for permission to snag the?XEphem web site as well! I got busy preparing for travel in late April, but I have finally downloaded the ¡°xephem/¡± directory from your Clear Sky Institute site with ¡°wget -r¡±, and added the resulting files to a ¡°Site¡± directory in the repository. It looks like the result works without any hand-editing!
Happily, nearly all the links in your docs are already relative links, so they are working just fine even though the base URL has changed. Very nice.
I'm not sure I ever used Applixware, though the name is familiar. The Sun labs at Georgia Tech had FrameMaker installed, so that's what I used for a few projects when plain text and TeX didn't seem to fit a particular problem. I don't remember if I ever tried to export HTML from it or not.
I¡¯ll update the project README to point out that this documentation is now also available in-repo. Thanks again!
