Has anyone used Hexographer for Star Mapping?

If so, is it something you would recommend?

===

I am thinking about getting Hexographer. I am working on a fantasy world for _The Arcanum_ and I want it to have a true "old school" feel, and so this seems like the best mapping program to achieve that.

But I cannot justify the purchase for this one project; then I saw the fact that it can be used for Traveller-esque star mapping. So, has anyone used it for this? And if they have, would you recommend it as a good tool for such things?

It will do the task in a reasonable manner.

I've got Hexographer for use in D&D.

The free JNLP version is the very same interface.

Be warned: RTFM! It matters! a lot of the interface elements go MUCH smoother if you RTFM.

You can't beat it for the price.

Purchased the Hex/Dungeon/City-ographer bundle. Per the advice here, downloaded and printed the manual and I am reading through it.

As a software engineer, I may have to look at the Java source code and see if I can modify it to properly read and write Traveller .SEC and Metadata .XML files (per the Traveller Map Poster maker). Might be fun.
