Assistance in programming NEO Planner:

My special thanks goes to all the fellow members of the Visual Basic and C++ forums.
Without their disclosure of source codes and tips for programming special requirements, the development of NEO Planner became a task of the century!

VBForums - Visual Basic and VB .NET Discussions and More!
VB-Paradise 2.0 The German Visual-Basic-and .NET-Community
Stack Overflow - Where Developers Learn, Share and Build Careers

I would also like to mention that without the interfaces and personal help offered by the Minor Planet Center, the Scout and Horizons System
of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the ESA and other amateur websites, programming NEO Planner also would not have been possible.
My special thanks go to Alan Chamberlin andDavide Farnocchia at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for their assistance in using the Scout and Horizons APIs.

NEO Planner is registered. A hardware code is required for use.

The transmission of the hardware code of the personal computer to the NEO Planner server is mandatory

during the initial installation and the user agrees to this by installing the program.

In order to provide optimal support, the settings_obscode.dat and the last planning are sent

to the NEO Planner server when the program is terminated.

The user can decide for himself whether and when he allows this.

Upon activation, the user agrees to the transmission of the data.
