[skymap] Will SkyMap remove Pluto from the Planets?

From the SkyMap Forum: (SkyMap Lite is a wonderful astronomy program

that astrologers should have...)

I do not intend to change anything in SkyMap; the overwhelming majority of

people will continue to regard Pluto as a planet no matter what the IAU may

say. I think it's very likely that the recently-passed rulings will be

overturned at the next IAU convention; they don't exactly seem to be have

warmly received, to put it mildly.
