Hi
About 10 years ago I wrote a couple of programs in Qbasic and compiled them so they run in a DOS window (or command line). One of them was to drive a Dob11 Driver and another just two stepper motors. The programs were for driving my old 8" Dobsonian. They are complete with alignment stars, planet calculator, Messier and NGC/IC catalogues. There is also a two star alignment routine. I still have the programs and a test box coupled to two stepper motors salvaged from old hard drives. It runs from the printer port.
The source code (Qbasic) is available which could be used (if you can read basic) to salvage the algorithms necessary to write a similar program in any language.
