I found a couple of places on the net that have comet ephemerides for either 
1950 or 2000 epochs - so one does not have to compute them.  There was also a 
basic program published around 1990 in Sky & Telescope that creates hardcopy of 
a comet orbit and you assemble it into a comet model (called Origami Orbits or 
something similar).  You plug-in the comet elements and it prints hardcopy to 
cut & paste (the old kind of cut & paste).

P.S.  Looking at the comet last night (3.0 UT 3-29), I saw no evidence of the 
nucleus breaking-up.  Has anyone else seen (vs. heard) this?
