Hi Rick, I've been very busy with all the rabble rousing going on at the State Capital. I'm currently uploading more videos of the situation at the Capital.
Don't know if I can answer your question thoroughly. But I'll do what I can. I'm not an expert on the matter. However it's my understanding that when you introduce at least three bodies it is impossible to predict what will happen to orbital bodies. From my own experience it can also be difficult to predict what will happen with just two bodies mucking about, depending on the original vectors fed into the algorithm. The Celestial Mechanics "s/w" I've been working on is written in VisualBasic .NET. It's a forgiving language, and I'm sick and tired of dealing with C++. My CM programs still under development. I'm still on windows'XP, 32 bit. Congratulations on your Sinclair project. I started on a TRS-80. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
