I'm not at all sure where this should be posted since it's not OA specific. Maybe the "worldbuilding tools" forum might be more appropriate?
Anyhow,...
I wrote a command-line Fortran program to do most of the hard work in creating route lines between locations in Celestia (e.g. between stars and galaxies). I built it using Cygwin's gfortran under Win7, but I think the executable will work under most 64 bit versions of Windows. (I included the cygwin .DLLs that seem to be needed.) Essentially, you provide it with a .CSV containing RA,Dec and Distances of the endpoints plus the desired color for each of the routes that you want to see. It creates a .CMOD and .DSC for that set of routes.
See the included routes_readme.txt for details.
