details.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Windows or linux/POSIX or CYGWIN environement
A 3d openGL acceleration card and a good CPU.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
QUICK START
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Navigation :
Use the direction keys to move the point of view.
Use page up and page down keys to zoom in and out.
Use left mouse button to select an object, right button to select
no object and middle mouse button or SPACE to center on the 
selected object.
Zoomming on nebulaes or planets is very interesting....
Press the H key for more help.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
CONFIGURATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Use the files config/config.txt and config/location.txt to change the video settings and other 
parameters.

Speed configuration :
If the FPS (number of Frame Per Second) is too low (<3), you probably have 
no 3D acceleration. Delete the file "config.txt" and rename the file 
"config_no_3D_acceleration.txt" in "config.txt". It should be a bit faster,
but with less options.
