The code is pretty much straight-out-of-the-box from an astrophysics
textbook, so without studying it a little further I'm pretty much in the
dark on how it works.
Here's a link to the authors website
http://astrophysics.weber.edu/Default.htm where you can find the code
"galaxy.bas" upon which this version is based. If you don't have a basic
complier I can send you the executable (assuming your running Windows).
