free Windows star chart program?

Apologies if this is in the FAQ (don't you hate people that say that?)
but I have a friend in South Africa currently loading his boat to sail
off to Brasil, wanting a star program that's small enough to download
over a modem. It's a last minute thing because he mistakenly thought he
could use Starry Night which he has on his iMac.

Any recommendations?

Very nice. Thanks.

Good to see that uk.sci.astronomy is behaving like a pure cataloguing
chat room and no need to thank me for reducing Newton's ballistic
theory to rubble,at least in its application to planetary motion.

So,this year cataloguers discovered that there is an additional
heliocentric conception known as Newtonian quasi-geocentricity *
whereas there really was once only Ptolemaic geocentricity and
Copernican heliocentricity.

Ptolemaic geocentricity and Copernican heliocentricity share the common
feature of keeping planetary motion clear of the stellar background -

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ima...2000_tezel.gif

Newtonian quasi-geocentricity retains the stellar background which the
Ptolemaics had already dropped for the Newton description for planetary
motion seen from Earth and its resolution by jumping to the Sun does
not even have the dignity of the Ptolemaic models -

"For to the earth planetary motions appear sometimes direct, sometimes
stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun they are
always seen direct.."

http://members.tripod.com/~gravitee/phaenomena.htm

This year you found yourselves closer to astrology and having none of
the dignity of Ptolemaic astronomy or its dramatic evolution into the
great Western heliocentric astronomy,only the homocentric relativist
is lower in the scheme of things.

Welcome to the 21st century.

God almighty.

This guy just amazes me. I'm not being nasty, but I genuinely believe
he must be suffering from a serious mental delusional disorder to keep
on and on so relentlessly and obsessively. My ex-girlfriend's identical twin
sister had serious issues, to the extent that she had to have a depot injection
every two weeks, but she used to be convinced that the world in general,
and agent or agents unknown in particular were trying to make her fat and
ugly, trying to control her mind, trying to control the world, and she'd
go on about it "on a tape loop" every 5 minutes or less during the bad
spells. But those are not uncommon things to obsess about. This is much
more unusual, and very strange.

Oooh, weird.
