My first version of zodiac sign program in Small Basic was for Challenge of the Month - January 2013. This year, I updated the program with a new tool program.
The tool name is Get List of Stars from Wikipedia (ZSF735). The last time, I read and typed constellation data from Wikipedia. But now this program can do so.
I copied the output above to the zodiac sign program and it became the new one (RVG849-1).
I'd like to update these tool and zodiac program every month this year.
Have fun with Small and Basic power!

Tryhest, nice try!
For SB 1.2, RVG849-2 need following code in dstarr().
If mag = "" Then
d = 2
Else
d = 20 / mag
EndIf

Tryhest, I modified your RVR331 as RVR331-0.
(1) to avoid divided by zero in SB 1.2
(2) to remove FC Extensions (use only LitDev Extensions)

Instead of slow shapes you could use images from Stellarium http://www.stellarium.org/ (recently updated to 0.14.2) which are in C:Program FilesStellariumskyculturesSUBS
