+>Choose Input Coordinates</guilabel
+> section. Then, fill in the corresponding coordinate values in either the <guilabel
+>Ecliptic coordinates</guilabel
+> or <guilabel

+>The module contains a batch mode for converting several coordinate pairs at once. You must construct an input file in which each line contains two values: the input coordinate pairs (either Equatorial or Ecliptic). Then specify which coordinates you are using as input, and identify the input and output filenames. Finally, press the <guibutton
+>Run</guibutton
+> button to generate the output file, which will contain the converted coordinates (Equatorial or Ecliptic; the complement of what you chose as the input values). </para>
