A DOS program for generating models of the solar system called POV-Ray 
Planetarium is listed here:

http://objects.povworld.org/links10.html

However, the link is dead. Anyone have a copy laying around they could 
send me? Is it a 16 bit application? (I'm running 64-bit Windows 7.)

I found an F. Bruder's Kepler motion include file.

At first glance it seems to be able to plot the planets after inputting 
the correct parameters. However, I'm not sure about "time of periapsis 
passage", whether it's safe to use the sidereal period in place of the 
anomalistic period.
