I've written a program to control a Mark IV unit from a computer running Linux. The program hasn't been field-tested yet, but will be soon. I would like people to read through the manual and give me feedback.

Oh, and the name of the program, tait, isn't very good -- please give me suggestions for a new one.

• The "tait" manual
• Gzip'ed tar archive with source code (37,053 bytes)
  A few changes have been made since the manual was written. There is a new "radec" command, which ought (after the telescope has been set up and calibrated properly) point the telescope to a given (RA, Dec) position, if possible; both RA and Dec should be specified in decimal degrees.

• tait-0.0.4.tgz -- devel version
  Lacks external documentation. Don't get this unless you know what you're doing.
