Editing Tpoint (section)

==History==
TPoint was invented and developed by Patrick Wallace.<ref name=ST-July2012/> It grew out of work he and John Straede performed
at the [[Anglo-Australian Telescope]] (AAT) between 1974 and 1980
using [[Interdata]] 70 computers. In the early 1980s, it was ported to the [[Digital Equipment Corporation]] [[VAX]] running under
the VMS operating system and between 1990 and 1992 was also ported to run on the [[Personal Computer|PC]]/[[MS-DOS]] platform as well
as various [[UNIX]] platforms. A TPoint add-on is available for TheSkyX Serious Astronomer Edition and TheSkyX Professional Edition from Software Bisque, and it runs under Linux, macOS and Microsoft Windows. <ref> {{cite news | first = Patrick | last = Wallace | title = TPOINT - Telescope Pointing Analysis System (v4.4) | date = 9 Dec 1994 | publisher = DRAL/ Rutherford Appleton Laboratory | url = http://docs.jach.hawaii.edu/EXTERNAL/SUN/100/sun100.pdf | work = Starlink Project | pages = 27 28 | accessdate = 2013-01-02 | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20100611143703/http://docs.jach.hawaii.edu/EXTERNAL/SUN/100/sun100.pdf | archivedate = 11 June 2010 }}</ref>
