Subject: announcement
Dear Sir,
attached to this e-mail, I am sending you an announcement
about availability of a computer program for calculation of
theoretical meteor shower radiant. It could, perhaps, be useful
to people in the Meteorobs group.
Can I respectfully ask you, as the moderator of the Meteor-
obs, to emplace the attached message to the Meteorobs discussion
web site, please?
With the best regards,
Lubos Neslusan

A computer program for calculation
of a theoretical meteor-stream radiant
======================================
A few years ago, there was composed a computer code (in Fortran)
for the prediction of radiant position of a potential meteor shower
associated with a parent body, of which the orbit is well-known.
This program can be a useful tool, e.g. in a prediction of position
of radiant of a potential diffuse meteor shower associated with a
newly discovered near-Earth asteroid.
Since I was informed that a lot of people dealing with meteors,
also whose are grouped in the Meteorobs, have not received any infor-
mation about the existence of the program, please let me announce
that it can be freely downloaded through the anonymous FTP from:
auriga.ta3.sk
subdirectory: pub/meteors/radiant
files: README, methods.f (Fortran 77 source code), dosmeth.exe (code
executable under DOS in MS-DOS Fortran; it has to be dowloaded in
the binary code)
The article briefly explaninig the methods used, proper program as
well as its applicability was published in the Astronomy Astrophysics
(Neslusan L., Svoren J., Porubcan V.: 1998, Astron. Astrophys. 331,
411-413.). However, a usage of the program is easily possible also
without reading this paper: there is a comprehensive comment in the
beginning of source code as well as particular comments at the heading
of each subroutine.
