      FAKSTAR is a module which allows one to create maps containing
 artificial star images.  If the file already exists, the new images are
 added to what is there, otherwise a new file is created with a size
 specified by the user.  The parameters for the stars may be input
 manually whereby the user enters the central location to a fraction
 of a pixel location, the inclination, the eccentricity, and the
 central surface brightness in ADU.  Alternately, the parameters
 may be read from a file prepared by option BB, FI, or PR.  For
 the first three cases one must then specify the particular surface
 brightness law.  A dynamic memory assignment is used in which the
 area necessary to create the image is big enough to contain pixels
 with one millionth the central intensity.  Allowance is made
 the center of the image to be outside the boundaries of the map.
