Modifying StarGen

Despite its name, StarGen is a program by Jim Burrows which designs planetary systems. It doesn't design stars. I downloaded its C sourcecode from
http://eldacur.com/~brons/NerdCorner/StarGen/StarGen.html and have been enhancing its code somewhat, primarily to improve its SSC catalogs for use with Celestia. I'll be using it to create planetary systems around the stars orbited by Alliance and Union stations.
